Fernando Garcia

Fernando Garcia serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist San Fran office under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s civil works mission. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for infrastructure resilience projects, including flood control systems, dam safety upgrades, levee construction, and beneficial use of dredged material. His acquisitions span design-build, construction, and professional services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and environmental standards. Garcia plays a critical role in aligning contracting strategies with the agency’s mission to maintain and modernize national water resources infrastructure. He maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors including BFBC LLC, Granite Construction Company, Manson Construction Co., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and CAM-DUTRA JV-II LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of executing complex civil works projects under stringent federal oversight. Garcia’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical compliance, and schedule reliability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration on multi-year infrastructure initiatives. Garcia’s contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small firms. He actively supports the inclusion of small businesses in civil works contracting without compromising technical or operational requirements. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238210 (electrical installation), 611430 (professional training), 332311 (prefabricated metal buildings), 512240 (sound recording studios), and 562111 (solid waste collection). This diverse mix reflects the multifaceted nature of civil works projects, requiring specialized electrical systems, workforce development, modular construction components, environmental monitoring tools, and waste management services—all integral to sustainable infrastructure delivery.
