Mayra Barbosa

Mayra Barbosa serves as a Contract Specialist for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across naval and marine forces. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for specialized logistics, maintenance support, and mission-enabling services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with expeditionary and garrison readiness priorities. She routinely handles complex procurements involving technical services, equipment maintenance, and niche supply chains essential to combat system reliability and force mobility. Barbosa maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in niche technical domains, often supporting specialized maintenance, process optimization, and equipment supply functions. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear deliverables and quality assurance protocols. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her actions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded as open competitions. While she does not exclusively favor specific set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her portfolio demonstrates a deliberate and consistent emphasis on small business participation, aligning with Department of the Navy mandates to broaden vendor diversity and enhance resilience in the supply base. Barbosa’s primary NAICS focus areas include 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), 541614 (Process and Logistics Consulting Services), and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), reflecting an unconventional yet mission-critical blend of support services. She procures specialized equipment maintenance, operational logistics consulting, and medical-grade supplies tailored to expeditionary environments, demonstrating deep expertise in integrating non-traditional categories into defense readiness frameworks. Her technical domain spans logistics optimization, equipment sustainment, and mission-specific consumables critical to force health and operational continuity.
