Mrs. Jessie Garcia

Mrs. Jessie Garcia serves as a Contracting Officer (CER) responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical services supporting community-based social and safety infrastructure. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency objectives through transparent, competitive bidding processes. She typically handles service-based acquisitions across human services, security operations, and civic engagement domains, with a focus on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. Her work supports the effective delivery of public services through strategic sourcing and contract administration. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the procurement record, Mrs. Garcia engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, nonprofit service providers, and specialized security and advocacy firms. Her procurement patterns suggest a preference for open competition with limited reliance on sole-source or non-competitive mechanisms, fostering a level playing field for qualified offerors. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with vendors, emphasizing accountability, timely performance, and regulatory adherence throughout contract execution. Mrs. Garcia’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a deliberate approach to maximizing competition and value without leveraging socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic preferences, her procurement decisions remain fully compliant with all applicable small business statutes, ensuring that eligible firms are not excluded from opportunity. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Charter Bus Industry (485510), Civic and Social Organizations (813410), Other Social Advocacy Organizations (813319), Other Individual and Family Services (624190), and Security Systems Services (561621). These reflect a specialization in procuring transportation logistics for vulnerable populations, community outreach programs, advocacy services, social support systems, and physical security infrastructure. Her technical expertise lies in managing complex service contracts requiring performance metrics, compliance with federal human services standards, and coordination with nonprofit and public-sector partners.
