Felicia A Castillo

Felicia A. Castillo serves as a Contracting Officer at the GSA/FAS Region 7 Acquisition Center, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical industrial and institutional supplies that sustain federal operations across the region. Responsible for end-to-end acquisition execution, she manages competitive procurements under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 pathways, focusing on standardized, high-volume manufactured goods essential to federal facility functionality. Her portfolio emphasizes durable equipment and consumables that support logistics, administrative, and operational readiness, aligning with GSA’s mission to deliver efficient, scalable procurement solutions for the broader federal enterprise. Castillo maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MACGYVER SOLUTIONS, INC., FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LLC., B.W. WILSON PAPER COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and COMSIS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capacity in manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and specialized industrial supply chains. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging GSA Schedule contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure continuous availability of essential goods. Her procurement patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 89.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. While small business participation is limited to 10.3%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising operational efficiency or supply continuity. Castillo’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products), which constitutes nearly two-thirds of her portfolio, reflecting deep specialization in metal-based industrial components. She also routinely procures signage (339950), precision measurement devices (334519), and industrial wholesale supplies (423840), demonstrating domain knowledge in manufacturing, material handling, and facility support systems essential to federal infrastructure operations.
