Robert Bebek

Robert Bebek serves as a key procurement professional within U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), responsible for managing facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to operational readiness and coastal resilience. He oversees the acquisition of building systems, utilities, and physical infrastructure upgrades that sustain Coast Guard shore-based operations, with a focus on compliance with federal building standards and climate adaptation requirements. His portfolio includes complex, mission-critical contracts involving mechanical, electrical, and structural modernization, often requiring coordination with engineering and environmental compliance teams to ensure long-term facility integrity. Bebek maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors specializing in facility maintenance and maritime infrastructure support. He frequently engages with plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, as well as firms skilled in metal fabrication, marine repair, and specialized equipment manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and lifecycle cost analysis, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of delivering durable, code-compliant solutions under challenging coastal conditions. A strong advocate for small business participation, Bebek consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with over 64% of his acquisitions designated for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, aligning with the Coast Guard’s broader socioeconomic goals and federal mandates for equitable access. His primary industry focus centers on NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), and 332321 (metal window and door manufacturing), demonstrating deep expertise in maritime facility systems. He procures specialized components such as corrosion-resistant HVAC units, marine-grade structural elements, and custom-engineered enclosures, requiring technical knowledge of coastal environmental standards and federal construction codes. Bebek’s work ensures that Coast Guard infrastructure remains mission-ready amid rising sea levels and extreme weather events.
