Spencer Lang

Spencer Lang serves as a Storkeeper at Base Kodiak (70Z045), a critical operational unit of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, he manages the receipt, storage, inventory control, and distribution of mission-critical supplies and spare parts essential to maintaining infrastructure, utility systems, and safety equipment at remote coastal installations. His responsibilities directly support operational readiness by ensuring timely access to consumables, repair components, and environmental compliance materials. Lang handles low-dollar, high-frequency acquisitions under simplified acquisition procedures, primarily focused on maintaining stock levels for facility sustainment and emergency response readiness. Lang maintains a consistent working relationship with Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., a key vendor providing specialized environmental remediation and regulatory support services. His procurement patterns reflect a reliance on established contractors with proven expertise in hazardous material handling, waste management, and environmental monitoring—areas critical to the Coast Guard’s mission at austere locations. These partnerships are typically governed by blanket purchase agreements and task orders issued under GSA schedules, emphasizing reliability and regulatory compliance over competitive bidding. His set-aside preferences show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 76.9% of acquisitions awarded without set-asides. However, he actively supports small business participation, with approximately 16.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a modest but consistent allocation to 8(a) firms and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSBs), reflecting a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals without compromising operational urgency. Lang’s procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), which accounts for nearly 97% of his activity. He procures waste disposal services, hazardous material containers, spill response kits, and related environmental control equipment. His technical domain expertise lies in managing supply chains for environmental compliance and facility maintenance, ensuring that Base Kodiak meets federal environmental standards while sustaining mission-critical operations in challenging coastal environments.
