Lucia A. Carvajal

Lucia A. Carvajal serves as a key procurement professional within the W075 Endist Los Angeles office of the Department of the Army, supporting the mission to sustain military readiness through the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering contracts, primarily focused on commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and facility maintenance. Her work ensures that Army installations maintain operational capability through timely, compliant, and mission-aligned acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, coordinating with engineers, project managers, and stakeholders to align contracting actions with strategic readiness goals. Carvajal maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, KORTE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, BFBC LLC, MANSON CONSTRUCTION CO, and WU & ASSOCIATES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in complex military construction environments, often involving multi-year task orders and performance-based service contracts. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and adherence to military construction standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining rigorous oversight. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 69% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she actively supports small business participation through targeted programs. Approximately 20% of awards are allocated as Total Small Business Set-Asides, with additional allocations to 8(a) competed contracts and HUBZone firms, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives without compromising mission needs. Carvajal’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for over half of her portfolio, followed by 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). She routinely procures services related to facility upgrades, structural rehabilitation, site development, and utility infrastructure, requiring deep expertise in construction specifications, building codes, and military environmental compliance standards.
