Maribel Sanchez

Maribel Sanchez serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Southwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient infrastructure for naval installations across the Southwest region. She manages a portfolio of construction and utility-related acquisitions, focusing on facility modernization, environmental compliance, and mission-critical infrastructure upgrades. Her work ensures operational readiness through the execution of contracts aligned with federal construction standards and sustainability goals, typically overseeing design-build, construction management, and performance-based service contracts under FAR Part 36. She plays a central role in translating mission needs into legally compliant, competitively awarded procurements that enhance base resilience and long-term asset value. Sanchez maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in civil infrastructure and environmental services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in complex military construction and utility system rehabilitation. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with strong safety records, technical expertise in heavy civil works, and familiarity with Department of the Navy environmental and regulatory protocols. Her procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, with 50% of her awards designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to diversity in defense contracting. An additional 16.7% are set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, while 33.3% remain open to all competitors. This balanced approach supports both mission efficiency and broader socioeconomic objectives within federal acquisition policy. Sanchez’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with significant activity in water and sewer infrastructure (237110). She regularly procures services related to site development, utility rehabilitation, HVAC system upgrades, and stormwater management systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military construction standards and environmental compliance frameworks.
