Corina Fantes

Corina Fantes serves as a Procurement Buyer for the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office, where she plays a central role in acquiring mission-critical goods and services that support public safety, forensic operations, and custodial infrastructure. Responsible for end-to-end procurement execution, she manages solicitations, evaluates vendor proposals, and ensures compliance with state and federal contracting regulations. Her acquisitions focus on training programs, custom software development, facility maintenance, and specialized equipment essential to coroner services and inmate welfare, directly enabling operational readiness and evidence integrity across a high-volume urban jurisdiction. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Corina maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in professional development, IT services, and facility repair. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical competency, and adherence to performance-based specifications. She engages both established service providers and niche suppliers capable of delivering tailored solutions for forensic and correctional environments, fostering partnerships grounded in accountability and compliance with California procurement statutes. Corina’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements conducted under general competition without preferential designation for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB status. This reflects the agency’s current operational priorities, which emphasize technical capability and urgency over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all solicitations adhere to fair and open competition principles under state procurement law. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), where she secures law enforcement and forensic training curricula; NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) for case management and evidence tracking systems; NAICS 811490 for facility and vehicle maintenance; and NAICS 336612 (Boat Building), likely supporting waterborne patrol or recovery operations. Her domain expertise spans technical service integration, compliance-driven acquisition planning, and procurement for high-stakes public safety environments.
