Joshua F. Maradiaga

Sergeant Joshua F. Maradiaga serves as a procurement specialist within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, supporting operational readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services. His role centers on ensuring the reliability of combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure by managing contract actions aligned with Navy and Marine Corps operational requirements. He routinely handles service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, with a focus on rapid-response, low-dollar, and time-sensitive procurements that sustain readiness in both garrison and deployed environments. Sergeant Maradiaga maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in niche technical support, security systems, and specialized equipment supply. His contracting patterns emphasize responsiveness and technical proficiency over large-scale procurement, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet dynamic field demands and urgent maintenance needs. A strong advocate for small business participation, Sergeant Maradiaga consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 61% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. His socioeconomic contracting strategy reflects a deliberate commitment to broadening vendor diversity, with frequent use of small business set-asides across multiple categories, enabling agile, community-based suppliers to contribute directly to naval readiness. His primary NAICS focus areas include 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), reflecting infrastructure support in remote or austere environments, alongside 561621 (Security Systems Services), 335311 (Power Transformer Manufacturing), 212321 (Construction Sand and Gravel Mining), and 337910 (Mattress Manufacturing)—indicating a diverse operational footprint requiring everything from environmental compliance and electrical infrastructure to field habitation and site preparation. This blend underscores his technical acumen in procuring unconventional yet essential services that sustain force readiness beyond traditional defense categories.
