Loida Vazquez serves as a key procurement lead within Base Elizabeth City (70Z081), an operational unit of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security. She is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure and aviation support services essential to mission readiness. Her portfolio centers on construction and site development activities that maintain and modernize coastal facilities, airfield infrastructure, and environmental compliance systems. Vazquez ensures all procurements align with federal contracting regulations and the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities for sustained operational capability. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including C-PHASE SERVICES, LLC, STERILECO LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS CORPORATION, and JOHNS BROTHERS SECURITY, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized construction, facility maintenance, and mission-critical support services. Vazquez fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery of complex infrastructure projects. Vazquez demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economic opportunity within the small business community, ensuring that contracts are awarded exclusively to firms meeting small business size standards, without preference for other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—indicating deep expertise in civil infrastructure projects supporting Coast Guard air stations and maritime facilities. She procures services related to site grading, pavement systems, drainage, and utility upgrades, requiring technical knowledge of federal construction standards and environmental mitigation requirements. Vazquez’s domain expertise ensures that infrastructure investments directly enhance the operational resilience of U.S. Coast Guard assets in the coastal zone.
