Jaynai Aldeguer

Jaynai Aldeguer serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Maritime – Pearl Harbor, supporting the operational readiness of U.S. naval forces through the acquisition of mission-critical maritime components. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts for precision-engineered hardware, Aldeguer specializes in sourcing lubricating oils, greases, and related petroleum-based products essential for shipboard machinery, propulsion systems, and hydraulic assemblies. Their work ensures continuous supply chain resilience for the Pacific Fleet, aligning acquisitions with naval maintenance cycles and operational deployment timelines. Aldeguer’s portfolio focuses on high-reliability, militarily specified materials that meet stringent MIL-SPEC and ASTM standards, requiring deep technical understanding of fluid dynamics, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability in marine environments. Aldeguer maintains collaborative relationships with a broad network of qualified suppliers, particularly small businesses certified under federal socioeconomic programs. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, the procurement pattern reflects consistent engagement with vendors capable of delivering certified lubricants, additive packages, and specialty greases compliant with NAVSEA and DLA specifications. These partnerships are characterized by long-term contract performance, rigorous quality assurance protocols, and just-in-time delivery capabilities critical to shipyard and underway replenishment operations. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Aldeguer exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring all acquisitions are reserved for small businesses without further socioeconomic subcategories. This 100% set-aside approach reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust, responsive supplier base capable of meeting the Navy’s unique maritime logistics demands while fostering economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. The primary NAICS classification under Aldeguer’s purview is 324191, focusing on petroleum lubricating oil and grease manufacturing. Their technical expertise lies in procuring high-performance lubricants, anti-wear additives, and marine-grade greases engineered for extreme pressure, saltwater exposure, and extended service intervals. This specialization demands intimate knowledge of viscosity grades, oxidation stability, and additive chemistry, ensuring compatibility with naval propulsion, steering, and auxiliary systems.
