Jorge Losada

Jorge Losada serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing landscaping and grounds maintenance acquisitions on behalf of a federal entity. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions for services that ensure the aesthetic, functional, and environmental integrity of federal properties. He specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding performance-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with federal standards for sustainability, safety, and operational readiness. His acquisitions typically involve site maintenance, irrigation system management, turf care, and seasonal landscaping services, often delivered through task-order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Losada works with a diverse pool of service providers specializing in commercial landscaping, including regional and national firms with expertise in native plant management and low-impact development practices. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in federal facility support, though he actively engages new entrants through open solicitations and pre-solicitation outreach. Vendor relationships are built on performance metrics, quality assurance plans, and compliance with environmental and labor standards, fostering long-term service continuity and accountability. Losada’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach emphasizes fair and transparent competition, ensuring that all qualified contractors—regardless of size or certification—are evaluated solely on technical merit and past performance. His primary focus is on NAICS 561730, Landscaping Services, encompassing everything from routine mowing and pruning to erosion control and landscape design. He has deep expertise in performance-based service contracting, outcome-driven specifications, and environmental compliance frameworks such as the Federal Green Challenge. His work ensures federal sites meet operational, safety, and sustainability benchmarks through specialized, mission-aligned landscaping solutions.
