Rea Estrella

Rea Estrella serves as a Contracting Officer for Navfacsyscom Southwest, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services across Department of the Navy installations in the Southwest region. She executes full-cycle contracting actions for construction, maintenance, and modernization projects aligned with operational readiness goals, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and Navy facility standards. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex, mission-critical acquisitions involving utility systems, environmental remediation, and building systems integration, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous contract administration to meet stringent safety, sustainability, and resilience requirements. Estrella maintains established working relationships with a core group of qualified contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-performing firms with proven capabilities in civil construction, environmental services, and facility systems maintenance. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. While the majority of her acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Estrella demonstrates a targeted commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 16.7% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to leverage small business capabilities without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical standards, balancing broad competition with intentional support for qualified veteran-owned enterprises. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), each accounting for one-third of her activity. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction) and 541611 (Management Consulting), underscoring her expertise in integrated facility systems, utility infrastructure, and operational support services essential to sustaining naval installation readiness.
