Cindy Badua

Cindy Badua serves as a key procurement professional within the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the fleet through complex ship repair and industrial infrastructure contracting. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on naval vessel maintenance, mechanical overhauls, and mission-critical system refurbishment, ensuring operational readiness through timely and technically rigorous contract execution. Her work spans the full lifecycle of procurement—from requirement validation and solicitation development to award and contract administration—with a strong emphasis on mission-critical industrial capabilities essential to naval force readiness. Badua maintains established working relationships with leading industrial contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT CORP, XLEAGLE LLC, FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, and PHILIP RIEKE. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval shipyard operations, fluid power systems, heavy machinery repair, and specialized industrial equipment supply. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance reliability, technical compliance, and long-term vendor collaboration to support the shipyard’s sustained operational tempo. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition, Badua consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering a resilient industrial base by engaging qualified small businesses capable of delivering precision maintenance and specialized components essential to fleet sustainment. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), underscoring deep technical expertise in naval repair operations, mechanical systems maintenance, and industrial equipment servicing. She routinely procures components and services related to fluid power systems, valve manufacturing, and specialized training for shipyard technicians, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the technical demands of naval industrial operations.
