Denise Garcia

Denise A. Garcia serves as a Conference Assistant within the W075 Endist Sacramento office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize military infrastructure across the Western United States. While not a contracting officer, she plays a critical administrative and coordination role in the procurement lifecycle, facilitating the planning, documentation, and execution of acquisition events related to facility support services. Her responsibilities include managing conference logistics for acquisition review boards, preparing procurement packages, and ensuring compliance with federal contracting protocols. She routinely interfaces with program managers and contracting teams to align procurement activities with installation readiness goals, particularly in janitorial, environmental, and public affairs support domains. Denise works closely with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of whom provide specialized construction, site development, and facility maintenance services. Her role supports long-standing vendor partnerships characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract administration. She ensures that procurement activities reflect operational needs while maintaining rigorous adherence to federal acquisition regulations and contract compliance standards. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 50% of acquisitions conducted as open competitions and over 37% set aside for total small business participation. An additional 12.5% are designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. While she does not determine set-aside eligibility, she ensures documentation and procedural alignment with FAR 19.5 and other socioeconomic requirements. Denise’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 541820 (Public Relations Agencies), supporting facility hygiene, environmental compliance, and public affairs outreach for Army installations. She also supports niche services under 926150 and 519190, indicating expertise in regulatory coordination and specialized information services critical to mission continuity. Her work ensures that administrative and operational support functions remain aligned with Army infrastructure modernization priorities.
