Desiree Santos

Desiree Santos serves as a key procurement professional within the W7N9 USPFO Activity Wyang 153, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, facility maintenance, and operational support contracts, with a focus on commercial and institutional building construction, roofing systems, and HVAC infrastructure. Her work ensures the readiness and functionality of mission-critical installations through timely, compliant acquisitions that align with Army installation management standards. Santos handles both full-and-open and set-aside procurements, balancing operational urgency with regulatory adherence under FAR and DFARS guidelines. She maintains consistent contracting relationships with Parliament LLC and Liberty Communications, Inc., both of which provide specialized services in facility construction and institutional support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure upgrades and long-term maintenance capabilities. Santos’ contracting patterns suggest a reliance on established contractors with demonstrated performance histories, while still actively incorporating small business participation through structured set-asides. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business engagement, with 56% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 4% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs that expand access for disadvantaged entrepreneurs and foster resilience in the defense industrial base. She rarely uses no-set-aside mechanisms, indicating a strong institutional emphasis on broadening vendor diversity. Santos’ primary NAICS focus includes 236220 for commercial and institutional construction and 721110 for lodging services, underscoring her expertise in facility modernization and garrison support operations. She also procures food service contracts under 722310 and specialized metal fittings under 332919, demonstrating a technical grasp of integrated facility systems. Her domain expertise lies in the intersection of physical infrastructure resilience and mission-critical operational continuity within Army installations.
