Alexandra Barreto Borges

Alexandra Barreto Borges serves as a key procurement professional at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and engineering services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on ship repair, mechanical systems, and industrial infrastructure, ensuring fleet assets remain operationally viable through timely and technically sound contracting. Her work directly enables critical maintenance cycles by securing specialized equipment, fabrication services, and maintenance support capabilities essential to naval engineering operations. She maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company, reflecting a consistent reliance on vendors with proven expertise in marine construction, industrial coating systems, and heavy-duty engine equipment. These partnerships are characterized by performance-driven collaboration, with an emphasis on compliance with naval technical specifications and safety standards for shipyard environments. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition, she consistently allocates approximately 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her contracting approach prioritizes competition among qualified small businesses capable of delivering complex industrial services. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in fluid power systems (333996) and industrial coatings (336611). She specializes in acquiring propulsion components, marine-grade painting systems, and scaffolding solutions tailored to shipyard environments, reflecting deep technical familiarity with naval maintenance logistics and industrial support requirements.
