L T Quintanilla

L. T. Quintanilla serves as a Contracting Officer for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and facility services across the Hawaiian Islands. In this role, Quintanilla executes full lifecycle contracting actions to support the Department of the Navy’s operational readiness goals, overseeing complex construction, renovation, and facility sustainment projects. Their portfolio primarily includes design-build, construction management, and performance-based service contracts aligned with naval installation modernization priorities, including energy resilience, water security, and infrastructure hardening. Quintanilla maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GMB Inc. and Kapule LLC, both of which have consistently delivered high-value construction and engineering services under competitive and set-aside mechanisms. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated technical proficiency in military facility environments. Quintanilla fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships characterized by rigorous compliance, transparent communication, and adherence to federal acquisition regulations, ensuring timely and mission-critical delivery of facility services. Set-aside preferences indicate a balanced approach to small business participation, with the majority of acquisitions competed without set-aside (66.7%), while 8(a) competed awards and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides represent significant but secondary pathways. This pattern reflects a strategic emphasis on broad competition while intentionally leveraging socioeconomic programs to promote equitable access for qualified small businesses without compromising mission requirements. Quintanilla’s procurement focus centers on heavy civil and industrial construction, with primary NAICS codes including 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 238160 (Roofing Contractors). Their expertise spans infrastructure resilience projects, including site development, structural upgrades, and utility system enhancements, requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards, environmental compliance, and DoD facility codes.
