Fernando Garcia

Fernando Garcia serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist San Fran office of 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 maintenance, and beneficial use of dredged material. His acquisitions span design, construction, and environmental services, ensuring compliance with federal regulations, environmental standards, and public works requirements. Garcia plays a critical role in translating engineering needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that align with the agency’s mission of safeguarding national water resources. He maintains established working relationships with key 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, mid- to large-scale firms with proven expertise in civil infrastructure, earthmoving, and environmental remediation. Garcia consistently engages these vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, fostering reliable, performance-based delivery of complex public works projects. While the majority of his acquisitions (71.4%) are conducted without set-asides, he actively supports small business participation, with 28.6% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business eligibility without reliance on specialized programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, thereby broadening access for general small contractors in the civil works sector. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds) and 541330 (Engineering Services), each representing 25% of his portfolio, alongside significant activity in landscaping (561730), septic services (562991), and other technical services (541990). This reflects a diverse operational scope encompassing recreational infrastructure, site design, environmental mitigation, and utility support services critical to federal civil works operations.
