Anna Rodriguez

Anna Rodriguez serves as a key procurement professional at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center, part of the Department of the Navy, where she manages contracts critical to sustaining naval vessel readiness. Her role centers on acquiring specialized industrial services and engineered equipment necessary for ship repair, maintenance, and modernization. She oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with Navy readiness goals and federal acquisition regulations. Her portfolio primarily includes complex, mission-critical contracts for shipyard infrastructure, propulsion systems, and industrial support services that directly impact fleet operational availability. Anna maintains consistent working relationships with leading industrial contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-reliability vendors capable of delivering heavy industrial construction, marine coating systems, and marine engine components under stringent Navy quality and safety standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition while actively expanding opportunities for small businesses in the defense industrial base, particularly those with niche expertise in marine and industrial services. Anna’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), underscoring her technical expertise in naval propulsion systems, shipyard repair infrastructure, and marine-grade industrial equipment. She procures specialized components such as diesel-electric engines, corrosion-resistant coatings, and modular repair systems essential to maintaining the Navy’s surface fleet in operational readiness.
