Alicia Garcia

Alicia Garcia supports the procurement mission of Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound by managing critical acquisitions that sustain the readiness of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets. She oversees the acquisition of specialized marine engineering systems, structural components, and industrial maintenance services essential to vessel integrity and operational longevity. Her portfolio includes precision-fabricated hardware, mechanical subsystems, and shipbuilding materials, ensuring compliance with naval technical specifications and lifecycle sustainment requirements. She plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with the Navy’s fleet modernization and maintenance objectives. Garcia maintains consistent partnerships with leading industrial suppliers including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These relationships are centered on the procurement of high-integrity components such as propulsion gears, electro-mechanical actuators, marine lifting systems, and custom-fabricated structural assemblies. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based requirements, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure reliability in harsh maritime environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Garcia prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with over 61% of her awards designated for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, qualified vendors in the marine and industrial manufacturing sectors, fostering a diverse supplier base that enhances competition and innovation while meeting stringent naval quality standards. Her primary NAICS focus includes 332919 (metal valve and pipe fittings), 336612 (boat building), and 332722 (fastener manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in marine hardware, structural fabrication, and mechanical subsystems. She regularly procures precision-engineered components for shipboard systems, including valves, fasteners, and modular assemblies critical to propulsion, ballast, and hull integrity—demonstrating specialized knowledge in naval industrial supply chains and maritime engineering standards.
