Chelsey Hernandez-Guevara

Chelsey Hernandez-Guevara serves as a key procurement professional within the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial-scale maintenance and repair capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on critical infrastructure, industrial equipment, and specialized engineering services essential to fleet operational availability. Her work encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements validation and market research to award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval engineering standards. Her primary contractor relationships include W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffold, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company, reflecting a consistent reliance on specialized vendors for industrial maintenance, structural support systems, marine-grade coatings, and propulsion system components. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that prioritize reliability, safety compliance, and mission-critical delivery timelines in austere maritime environments. Hernandez-Guevara demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the remainder are open competition. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to leverage socioeconomic programs without compromising technical performance, favoring qualified small businesses in industrial and manufacturing sectors aligned with naval readiness needs. Her technical focus centers on NAICS codes including 332991 (ball and roller bearing manufacturing), 332321 (metal window and door manufacturing), 334513 (industrial process control instrumentation), 335313 (switchgear and switchboard apparatus), and 518210 (data infrastructure services). These reflect a specialized procurement profile in mechanical systems, electrical control components, and digital maintenance platforms critical to shipyard modernization and fleet sustainment operations.
