Steve P. Heimes serves as a SK3 Purchasing Agent at U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda (70Z031), where he manages a diverse portfolio of non-construction and support service acquisitions critical to sustaining maritime infrastructure and personnel readiness. His role centers on executing full-cycle procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with mission-critical facility maintenance, environmental standards, and workforce safety requirements. Heimes typically handles low-to-mid-tier contracts for specialty trade services, environmental compliance, and facility upkeep, aligning acquisitions with the Base’s strategic priorities of modernization and resilience across the Pacific region. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Heimes maintains consistent working relationships with a broad base of qualified vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for agile, responsive suppliers capable of delivering timely, high-quality services in support of dynamic operational needs. He collaborates closely with small business representatives and agency program managers to ensure contract performance meets rigorous Coast Guard standards for safety and compliance. Heimes demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 60% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting approach prioritizes inclusive opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting the Coast Guard’s broader socioeconomic goals. The remaining 40% of awards are typically non-set-aside, reserved for specialized services requiring unique technical capabilities or national supply chain access.
