Estela M. Diaz

Estela M. Diaz serves as an MRP SB Coordinator, playing a pivotal role in advancing small business participation within federal procurement operations. In this capacity, she ensures compliance with socioeconomic contracting requirements and facilitates the execution of small business set-asides across mission-critical acquisitions. Her responsibilities include identifying eligible opportunities, coordinating with program offices to align requirements with small business capabilities, and guiding the acquisition process to maximize participation from disadvantaged and underserved vendors. She specializes in service-based procurements that support operational efficiency and infrastructure maintenance, often working at the intersection of business support services and industrial equipment maintenance. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Ms. Diaz consistently engages with a broad network of small business contractors, particularly those certified under the Small Business Administration’s 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) programs. Her procurement approach emphasizes equitable access, fostering long-term partnerships with small firms capable of delivering specialized support services. She actively promotes competitive bidding environments that prioritize small business eligibility and mentor-protégé arrangements to build capacity within the vendor community. Ms. Diaz exhibits a 100% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate and unwavering focus on socioeconomic contracting goals. Her portfolio excludes large business general solicitations, ensuring that every acquisition is structured to provide meaningful opportunities for small businesses. This pattern underscores a strategic alignment with federal mandates to increase small business contracting and promote economic inclusion across government operations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561499 (All Other Business Support Services) and NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance). She routinely acquires administrative, logistical, and facility support services alongside preventive and corrective maintenance for non-automotive industrial equipment. This dual specialization reflects expertise in both operational support and technical services, enabling her to meet complex agency needs through agile, small business-led solutions.
