Gina Petrino

Gina Petrino serves as a Contracting Officer for W2SN Endist Far East under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to U.S. military readiness across the Far East region. Her portfolio centers on sustaining garrison facilities and enabling force projection through timely, compliant procurement of professional services, security operations, and environmental remediation. She ensures alignment with Department of Defense contracting policies, overseeing full lifecycle contract administration—from solicitation through closeout—while prioritizing mission-critical timelines and regulatory adherence. Petrino collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in facility support, security, and technical services, maintaining professional, performance-driven relationships grounded in FAR compliance and accountability. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in military installation support, including those with prior experience in theater-based operations and DoD-specific compliance frameworks. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance evaluation, and responsiveness to dynamic operational requirements in austere environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 70.6% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet she actively supports small business participation through Local Area Set-Aside authority under FAR 26.2, allocating 29.4% of opportunities to businesses located within the geographic footprint of U.S. installations in the region. This reflects a deliberate effort to stimulate local economies while ensuring access to qualified, culturally aware service providers. Petrino’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), with significant activity in remediation (562910) and facility systems (238220). She specializes in acquiring mission-critical support services including base operations, perimeter security, hazardous material cleanup, and HVAC maintenance—domains requiring technical proficiency, regulatory knowledge, and seamless integration with military logistics and environmental standards.
