Jessie Garcia

Mrs. Jessie Garcia serves as a contracting professional within the Military Sealift Command (MSC), supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain global naval logistics through strategic sealift and afloat support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on maritime engineering, vessel maintenance, and specialized ocean transportation systems, ensuring the readiness and operational continuity of MSC’s government-owned and chartered fleet. Her work directly enables expeditionary warfare capabilities by securing critical infrastructure, technical services, and equipment necessary for sustained naval operations across the globe. Mrs. Garcia cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including industrial equipment manufacturers, marine engineering firms, and specialized maintenance providers. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical solutions such as power boiler systems, auxiliary engine components, and water transportation support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, lifecycle support, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, she actively promotes small business participation, allocating 23.1% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 0.9% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures market competition while advancing socioeconomic contracting goals mandated by federal policy. Mrs. Garcia’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and 488390 (Other Support Activities for Water Transportation), reflecting her specialization in propulsion systems, marine auxiliary equipment, and vessel maintenance services. She also procures engineering services (541330) and industrial machinery repair (811310), demonstrating deep technical expertise in maritime propulsion, thermal systems, and fleet sustainment. Her work bridges engineering precision with operational readiness, ensuring MSC’s fleet remains mission-ready under the most demanding conditions.
