Hugo Cabrera

Hugo R. Cabrera serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of procurement actions across construction, facility services, and industrial support sectors. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through competitive, transparent, and efficient contracting practices. He routinely handles fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for construction services, facility maintenance, and specialized industrial contracting, balancing technical requirements with socioeconomic goals. His work directly supports infrastructure modernization and operational readiness across a broad range of public works initiatives. Cabrera engages with a wide spectrum of contractors, including general contractors, specialty trades firms, and service providers, fostering relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to ensure robust competition and supply chain resilience. His contracting approach emphasizes pre-solicitation outreach, clear statement of work development, and post-award performance monitoring to mitigate risk and ensure deliverables meet technical and schedule benchmarks. Cabrera demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 50% of his awards issued under no set-aside conditions, while actively prioritizing Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) at 30% and 8(a) competed contracts at 20%. This balanced approach reflects a strategic intent to maximize competition while fulfilling statutory small business goals. He routinely leverages socioeconomic programs to expand market access for certified small disadvantaged businesses, ensuring equitable opportunity without compromising acquisition efficiency or mission needs. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238210 (electrical installation), 236210 (industrial building construction), 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 314110 (carpet and rug manufacturing), and 561740 (carpet and upholstery cleaning services). This unique combination reflects expertise in both hard infrastructure and facility support services, requiring deep technical knowledge of construction standards, materials specifications, and facility lifecycle management. Cabrera’s domain expertise enables him to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations and safety codes.
