Jorge E. Machuca

Jorge E. Machuca serves as Officer in Charge for W7ND Uspfo Activity Mdang 175 under the Department of the Army, where he oversees the acquisition and management of facility sustainment and modernization projects critical to military readiness. His role centers on procuring services and products that maintain and upgrade mission-critical infrastructure—including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems—ensuring installations meet operational and safety standards. Machuca manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities of resilience, modernization, and personnel welfare, frequently coordinating with engineering, facilities management, and logistics teams to align procurement with mission requirements. Machuca maintains a consistent working relationship with GLOBAL GATE LLC, a primary contractor supporting facility-related services and specialized construction support. His contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions for installation maintenance and retrofitting, often requiring compliance with military construction standards and environmental regulations. He fosters long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate reliability in meeting tight timelines and rigorous quality controls for high-priority infrastructure projects. Machuca exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his acquisitions to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses while ensuring competitive, responsive service delivery. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, creating pathways for small firms to contribute to national defense infrastructure without reliance on large prime contractors. His procurement focus is concentrated in four primary NAICS categories: 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing), 611420 (Computer Training), 561720 (Janitorial Services), and 337920 (Blind and Shade Manufacturing). These reflect a holistic approach to facility operations, encompassing both environmental controls and workforce development. Machuca’s expertise lies in integrating non-military-support services—such as training and cleaning—with physical infrastructure upgrades to ensure comprehensive, day-to-day operational readiness across military installations.
