Dayen Lagunas

Dayen Lagunas serves as a secondary procurement representative at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and maintenance contracting. While not the primary contracting officer, Lagunas plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for specialized ship repair and industrial infrastructure projects. Their work directly enables the center’s operational readiness objectives by ensuring timely procurement of mission-critical services aligned with naval engineering standards and regulatory compliance. Lagunas maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industrial contractors, including W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on trusted vendors with proven capabilities in marine construction, protective coating systems, and heavy machinery maintenance. The working relationship pattern is characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract execution, indicating a preference for established, reliable contractors with demonstrated expertise in naval industrial environments. Lagunas demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with 100% of their acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses in the ship repair and industrial services sectors, ensuring compliance with federal socioeconomic goals while fostering a resilient, competitive vendor base. Their procurement focus is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories: 238210 for electrical contractors and wiring installation, and 336611 for shipbuilding and repair. This dual specialization underscores deep technical expertise in naval vessel maintenance, including electrical system upgrades, structural rehabilitation, and corrosion protection systems essential to fleet sustainment. Lagunas’s work ensures that critical infrastructure and industrial support services meet rigorous Navy standards for safety, durability, and operational readiness.
