Beatrice Torres

Beatrice B. Torres serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for complex construction and environmental remediation projects. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical infrastructure and environmental restoration objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses full-spectrum contracting activities, including solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration, with a focus on firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement instruments. Torres works closely with project managers, technical evaluators, and legal counsel to align procurement strategy with operational needs and regulatory requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly identifiable in current datasets, Torres engages with a broad range of qualified vendors, including general contractors, environmental engineering firms, and specialized remediation service providers. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, transparent evaluation criteria, and adherence to FAR guidelines to ensure fair and open competition. She maintains professional relationships with both large prime contractors and qualified subcontractors, fostering collaboration through clear performance expectations and risk mitigation strategies. Torres exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition based on technical merit and price reasonableness rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she remains fully compliant with all small business participation requirements and actively encourages small business involvement as a subcontractor where appropriate. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services). She regularly oversees acquisitions for new facility construction, renovation, asbestos abatement, soil remediation, and hazardous waste management. Torres brings deep expertise in construction specifications, environmental compliance standards, and performance-based contracting, ensuring that projects meet safety, sustainability, and regulatory benchmarks.
