Regina Espinoza

Regina Espinoza serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical infrastructure projects. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on commercial and institutional building construction, where she oversees design-build, construction management, and hard-bid contracts for facilities supporting public operations. Her work ensures timely, cost-effective delivery of high-quality construction services while maintaining strict adherence to FAR and agency-specific procurement policies. Regina cultivates relationships with a broad spectrum of qualified contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, including general contractors, specialty trade firms, and construction managers. She engages with vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing transparency, fair competition, and performance-based outcomes. Her procurement approach prioritizes pre-qualified contractors with proven track records in complex building projects, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in accountability and quality assurance. Regina’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her focus remains on selecting the most capable and qualified firms based on technical merit, past performance, and price reasonableness. This approach aligns with mission needs requiring specialized construction expertise that may not be consistently available within small business pools. Her primary NAICS specialization is 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she procures a wide range of services including new construction, renovations, facility upgrades, and infrastructure modernization. She possesses deep technical knowledge of building codes, construction methodologies, and project delivery systems, ensuring that all acquisitions meet stringent safety, accessibility, and sustainability standards. Regina’s expertise lies in managing large-scale, multi-phase construction projects that demand precise scheduling, rigorous oversight, and coordination with design professionals and facility stakeholders.
