Annette Tijerina serves as a Contract Specialist within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific (NAVFAC PACIFIC), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to support U.S. Navy and Marine Corps infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific region. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, she specializes in engineering, architectural, and construction-related contracts aligned with military readiness and base sustainment priorities.

Tijerina maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including Amentum Mitie Pacific LLC, Jacobs/B&M Joint Venture, Acciona CMS Philippines LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Core Tech-HDCC-Kajima LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-performance vendors capable of delivering integrated design-build and professional services under tight operational timelines.

Her procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without set-aside designations, reflecting the scale and technical complexity of NAVFAC PACIFIC’s mission requirements. While small business participation is limited, she consistently leverages Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 when appropriate, demonstrating a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission fidelity. Tijerina’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541310 (Architectural Services), with significant activity in commercial and institutional construction (236220), power and communication line construction (237130), and specialized communications equipment manufacturing (334290).
