Duarte’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including janitorial services, solid waste collection, security and patrol services, and other justice and public safety activities. He routinely acquires specialized environmental, maintenance, and operational support services critical to sustaining large-scale federal training installations, demonstrating deep expertise in facility lifecycle support and mission-enabling logistics.
