Florence Garrido

Florence Garrido serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Marianas, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure across Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility operations, environmental compliance, and logistical support services, ensuring installations remain mission-ready through timely and compliant contracting actions. Her work spans multiple phases of the acquisition lifecycle, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration, with an emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure resilience and environmental stewardship. Garrido maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including SEL Engineering Services, Inc., Schneider Electric Buildings Critical Systems, Inc., CDM Constructors Inc., and AMD International Technologies LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging firms with proven expertise in facility maintenance, energy systems, construction management, and technical support services. Her procurement approach prioritizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure high-quality delivery of complex, mission-aligned services across geographically dispersed locations. A strong advocate for small business participation, Garrido consistently structures solicitations under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority, with approximately 76.6% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic opportunities while ensuring access to agile, locally responsive vendors capable of supporting the unique operational demands of the Pacific theater. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 485113 for public transit systems, 611430 for professional and management training, 562991 for septic and wastewater services, and 532111 for passenger vehicle rental. These reflect a specialized domain expertise in sustainment logistics, environmental health infrastructure, and workforce development—key enablers for maintaining operational readiness in remote and austere military environments.
