Jaime Saenz

Jaime Saenz serves as a Business Specialist within the Naval Special Warfare Command, supporting the procurement of mission-critical equipment and services essential to elite maritime and unconventional warfare operations. In this role, Saenz facilitates the acquisition of specialized technical systems, tactical support infrastructure, and industrial-grade leasing arrangements that directly enhance operational readiness. Working closely with program managers and logistics teams, Saenz ensures compliance with Department of Defense contracting regulations while aligning procurement decisions with the Command’s strategic priorities in mobility, unmanned systems integration, and mission-critical sustainment. Their acquisitions primarily involve niche industrial and textile-based solutions tailored for extreme operational environments. Saenz maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Trofholz Technologies, Inc., Pass Christian Yacht Works, LLC, and TeamWorks Tactical Solutions Inc., each of which provides highly tailored maritime, tactical, and technical support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in custom fabrication, ruggedized equipment, and specialized maritime maintenance. McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC and Airgas USA, LLC further support infrastructure and mission-enabling utilities, indicating a diversified but highly targeted vendor ecosystem focused on niche capabilities rather than broad commercial suppliers. Saenz’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 25% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding the pool of qualified, specialized vendors aligned with special operations requirements. There is no evidence of preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, suggesting a focus on capability-driven small business engagement rather than socioeconomic categorization. The primary NAICS focus areas—314999 for miscellaneous textile product manufacturing and 532490 for commercial machinery leasing—reveal deep specialization in custom tactical textiles, protective gear, and the leasing of specialized industrial and maritime equipment. Saenz’s expertise lies in procuring mission-essential, non-standardized goods that support unique operational demands, from advanced maritime rigging systems to ruggedized, deployable infrastructure components.
