Gloria Lucero

Gloria Lucero serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a critical role in sustaining operational readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services. Her procurement activities directly support the reliability of combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure, ensuring naval and marine forces remain fully operational across garrison and deployed environments. She routinely manages complex solicitations under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, focusing on time-sensitive, low-to-mid dollar value contracts that require rapid turnaround while maintaining strict compliance with defense procurement standards. Lucero maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These vendors provide specialized technical services, electronic components, and industrial support solutions aligned with naval maintenance requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient suppliers with proven track records in defense environments, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability, regulatory compliance, and responsive delivery. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions. This deliberate distribution ensures robust competition while actively promoting participation from small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms without compromising mission needs. Her primary NAICS focus is on 335129 (Other Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing), reflecting a strong emphasis on power systems, control panels, and electrical subsystems essential to naval platforms. Secondary focus areas include 337920 (Blind and Shade Manufacturing) for facility infrastructure, 314999 (Miscellaneous Textile Products) for protective gear and enclosures, and 335311 (Transformer Manufacturing) for mission-critical power conditioning. Her technical domain expertise centers on electromechanical systems, environmental controls, and mission-enabling hardware requiring strict MIL-SPEC adherence.
