Krissy M. Garcia

Krissy Garcia serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurements across advanced electronic manufacturing domains. She plays a pivotal role in executing full lifecycle acquisition strategies, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her work supports critical national infrastructure needs by securing specialized components for defense, transportation, and industrial systems. Krissy routinely handles competitive negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical specifications for high-reliability electronic systems and embedded electrical components. Krissy cultivates relationships with a diverse pool of suppliers, primarily tiered manufacturers and subsystem integrators specializing in precision electronics. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications, ensuring compliance with rigorous quality and traceability standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability over price alone, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance, innovation, and supply chain resilience. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 92.8% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with 5.2% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 2.1% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This balanced approach ensures market access for disadvantaged firms while maintaining competitive rigor and mission readiness. Krissy’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), where she procures custom circuitry, sensors, and signal conditioning modules. She also frequently acquires motor vehicle electrical systems (336320), noncurrent-carrying wiring devices (335932), and power transformers (335311). Her domain knowledge spans printed circuit board assemblies, high-voltage insulation systems, and automotive-grade electronics, making her a key liaison between engineering requirements and commercial manufacturing capabilities.
