Rebecca Bronkema

Rebecca Bronkema serves as a key procurement lead within W6CD USAG Fort Knox, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to manage the responsible disposition of surplus and waste materials. She oversees the acquisition of services and commodities related to the collection, sorting, recycling, and resale of post-consumer and scrap materials generated by military operations. Her work ensures compliance with federal sustainability directives and the Army’s environmental stewardship goals, focusing on closing material loops and reducing landfill reliance. Bronkema primarily handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions under NAICS 423930, targeting recyclable material merchant wholesalers who provide logistics, processing, and market development for recovered metals, plastics, paper, and electronics. Her contractor relationships are centered on specialized recyclers and material recovery vendors with proven capabilities in handling military-grade waste streams. She engages with firms that offer certified recycling processes, hazardous material handling, and chain-of-custody documentation aligned with DoD environmental regulations. While no specific contractors are currently identified in the procurement record, her pattern indicates a preference for vendors with established infrastructure for large-scale material processing and transportation, often requiring ISO 14001 or R2 certification. Bronkema’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict non-set-aside approach, with 100% of acquisitions competed without socioeconomic preferences. This indicates a focus on technical capability and operational scalability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing efficiency and compliance over targeted small business set-asides. Her industry expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 423930, encompassing the wholesale distribution of recyclable materials. She procures end-to-end recycling services including collection, baling, shredding, sorting, and resale of post-consumer and industrial scrap, with deep technical knowledge of material recovery facilities, contamination control protocols, and circular economy frameworks within defense logistics.
