Rebecca Bronkema

Rebecca Bronkema serves as a key procurement professional within W6CD USAG Fort Knox, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to manage the responsible disposition of surplus and waste materials. Her work centers on acquiring services and commodities related to the collection, sorting, recycling, and resale of post-consumer and industrial scrap materials, ensuring compliance with federal sustainability directives and closed-loop resource recovery goals. She handles competitive solicitations under the NAICS 423930 category, focusing on recyclable material merchant wholesalers who facilitate the efficient diversion of military-generated waste from landfills. Her acquisitions directly enable environmental stewardship and support DoD-wide goals for circular economy integration. Bronkema engages with a broad network of certified recyclers, material recovery facilities, and wholesale distributors specializing in metals, plastics, paper, and electronic scrap. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently works with vendors possessing robust logistics capabilities, environmental compliance certifications, and experience handling DoD-generated waste streams. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, scalable partners capable of nationwide or regional service delivery, often requiring adherence to federal environmental regulations and chain-of-custody documentation standards. Her procurement activity shows no use of set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s operational scale and the specialized nature of recyclable material handling, where technical capacity and infrastructure outweigh socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all vendors must meet stringent performance and regulatory benchmarks regardless of size. Bronkema’s primary industry focus is NAICS 423930, encompassing the wholesale distribution of recyclable materials. She procures end-to-end waste management services including on-site collection, material segregation, transportation, processing, and resale of recovered commodities. Her expertise lies in evaluating vendor capabilities in environmental compliance, material traceability, and sustainable logistics—ensuring each contract advances the Army’s mission to minimize environmental impact through efficient resource recovery.
