Rosa I. Diaz

Rosa I. Diaz serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), supporting the acquisition of critical services that sustain K-12 educational operations for military-connected students at overseas and select domestic installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with DoDEA’s mission to deliver high-quality, equitable education through robust instructional infrastructure, student support systems, and operational enhancements. Her acquisitions primarily focus on non-defense-related services, including facility-related support, educational programming, and administrative services essential to school functionality in globally dispersed environments. Diaz maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, CoreTech Consulting Inc., Effective Communication Strategies LLC, Residential Enhancements, Inc., and FGI Solutions LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized service providers delivering tailored solutions in areas such as facility maintenance, communication systems, and educational support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration over transactional engagements. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and operational suitability rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with DoDEA’s need for rapid, scalable, and mission-critical service delivery. Diaz’s primary NAICS focus includes Passenger Car Leasing (532112), reflecting logistical support for student transportation and staff mobility; Offices of Mental Health Practitioners (621330), indicating procurement of counseling and psychological services for student well-being; Sports and Recreation Instruction (611620), supporting extracurricular and physical education programs; and Other Similar Organizations (813990), encompassing administrative and community-based educational support entities. Her expertise lies in integrating non-traditional service categories into a defense education framework, ensuring holistic student development through adaptive, mission-aligned contracting.
