Phillip Balschun

Phillip Balschun serves as a Sk3 Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Base Elizabeth City (70Z081), a critical operational unit under the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting aviation infrastructure, facility maintenance, and environmental compliance initiatives. His acquisitions directly enable mission readiness by securing essential support services that sustain air station operations, ground equipment, and facility integrity. Balschun primarily handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under the 561990 NAICS code, focusing on integrated support solutions that require technical coordination across multiple federal and contractor teams. His key contractor relationships include C-Phase Services, LLC, SterileCo LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Roche Diagnostics Corporation, and Johns Brothers Security, Inc. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on specialized service providers delivering facility maintenance, environmental sanitation, construction site development, and security operations. Balschun’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven track records in federal aviation and maritime support environments. His working relationships are characterized by long-term engagement, rigorous compliance oversight, and a focus on operational continuity. Balschun’s procurement portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition. While he does not currently prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his acquisitions remain fully compliant with all federal procurement regulations. His approach prioritizes capability, reliability, and mission alignment over socioeconomic targeting, ensuring that critical infrastructure needs are met without restriction. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), encompassing a broad spectrum of mission-critical support functions including facility operations, maintenance, security, and environmental services. This specialization underscores his technical expertise in procuring complex, integrated support packages that ensure the sustained operability of Coast Guard aviation and maritime assets under demanding operational conditions.
