Alex Noriega

Alex Noriega serves as a key procurement professional within NAVFACSYSCOM Southeast, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. Responsible for managing complex construction and facility support acquisitions, Noriega oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for commercial, institutional, and heavy civil engineering projects. Their work directly enables naval readiness by ensuring timely delivery of facilities, utilities, and base operations support through compliant, performance-based contracting practices aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. Noriega maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced federal contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated capability in large-scale construction, site development, and aviation facility support. The contracting approach emphasizes past performance, technical competence, and operational reliability, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in accountability and mission alignment. Set-aside preferences are heavily weighted toward open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 10% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), indicating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical requirements. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are routinely applied, small business inclusion is facilitated through competitive open solicitations that encourage broad vendor participation. Noriega’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in infrastructure development for military installations. Additional focus areas include highway and bridge construction (237310) and industrial facility projects (236210). The technical domain centers on site grading, utility systems, structural construction, and facility modernization—demanding specialized knowledge in design-build, performance specifications, and construction management practices.
