Crystina Lopez

Crystina Lopez supports the Office of Contracts within the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) in managing critical procurement activities that sustain the agency’s international broadcasting infrastructure. She oversees the acquisition of construction, landscaping, and information technology services essential to maintaining secure, operational transmitting facilities abroad. Her work ensures the reliability of global media delivery systems by facilitating the construction and maintenance of commercial and institutional facilities, supporting workforce mobility, and enabling the decommissioning of obsolete equipment. Her procurement portfolio is strategically aligned with USAGM’s mission to deliver independent media to global audiences through resilient, mission-critical infrastructure. Lopez collaborates with a diverse range of vendors specializing in commercial construction, site maintenance, and IT support services. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering complex, geographically dispersed projects under stringent security and operational standards. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability, compliance with federal construction codes, and technical proficiency in remote-site logistics. Lopez’s procurement approach reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic categorization, though small businesses remain eligible participants under open solicitations. Her contracting decisions prioritize mission necessity and service quality over mandated set-asides, aligning with USAGM’s need for rapid, reliable execution in high-risk international environments. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), supporting facility upgrades at overseas transmitting sites; NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), ensuring site accessibility and environmental compliance; and NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), enabling IT infrastructure for remote operations. She possesses deep expertise in managing integrated projects requiring coordination between civil works, telecommunications, and site-specific IT systems.
