Jessica M. Castillo

Jessica M. Castillo serves as a Procurement Agent and Deputy Supervisor, playing a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s acquisition objectives through strategic sourcing and contract administration. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement validation and market research to solicitation development and award execution, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction-related services, with a strong emphasis on electrical infrastructure and heavy civil engineering projects. Castillo works closely with project engineers and program managers to translate technical needs into clear, competitive solicitations that foster innovation and value. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Castillo routinely engages with qualified general contractors, specialized electrical subcontractors, and civil engineering firms capable of delivering complex infrastructure solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability, fostering transparent and results-driven vendor partnerships. She prioritizes vendors with proven experience in regulatory compliance, safety protocols, and timely project delivery within high-risk construction environments. Castillo’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all socioeconomic contracting statutes and encourages small business participation as a subcontractor where appropriate. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in electrical system installations, utility infrastructure, roadway construction, and structural earthwork. She specializes in procuring services requiring adherence to ANSI, NEC, and DOT standards, demonstrating technical fluency in power distribution, stormwater management, and large-scale civil works projects.
