His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical competence, and adherence to federal construction codes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration on complex, mission-driven projects. Gebhardt’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting pattern, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors), reflecting expertise in procuring infrastructure for NOAA field stations, research facilities, and coastal monitoring sites. He specializes in acquiring services involving earthmoving, grading, utility integration, and structural construction tailored to harsh environmental conditions, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal construction standards and environmental mitigation requirements.
