Jacqueline Carrera

Jacqueline Carrera serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Southwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southwest region. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and environmental service contracts essential to sustaining naval installations, with a focus on operational readiness through facility modernization, utility system upgrades, and environmental compliance. Her acquisitions span civil works, building systems, and industrial equipment maintenance, ensuring installations meet DoD standards for safety, energy efficiency, and regulatory adherence. Carrera operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, balancing timely delivery with fiscal responsibility and mission alignment. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, environmental remediation, and mechanical systems integration. Carrera fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting models that emphasize quality control, schedule adherence, and safety compliance, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms to streamline delivery. Carrera demonstrates a balanced yet deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal distribution across Small Business Set-Asides, 8(a) competed awards, and Women-Owned Small Business set-asides—each representing 25% of her acquisition portfolio. This structured approach ensures broad small business participation while maintaining competitive integrity and mission effectiveness under FAR Part 19. Her contracting patterns reflect a strategic effort to cultivate a diverse supplier base capable of supporting complex, long-term infrastructure needs. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance), reflecting deep technical expertise in civil infrastructure, building systems, and facility sustainment. She consistently procures services involving HVAC retrofitting, stormwater management, utility line rehabilitation, and industrial equipment overhauls, ensuring naval facilities remain mission-ready and compliant with environmental and energy standards.
