Sandra Oquita

Sandra Oquita serves as a key procurement professional within the W075 Endist Los Angeles office of the Department of the Army, supporting the mission to sustain military readiness through the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering contracts, primarily focused on commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and facility maintenance. Her role involves executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Army installation priorities. She operates within a high-stakes operational environment where timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure directly impacts force readiness. Oquita maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, KORTE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, BFBC LLC, MANSON CONSTRUCTION CO, and WU & ASSOCIATES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in complex construction and engineering environments. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with demonstrated performance histories, fostering reliability and reducing risk in mission-critical projects. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 70.3% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 22.0% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and modest but consistent allocations to 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for over 60% of her portfolio, followed by highway and bridge construction (237310) and professional engineering services (541330). She specializes in procuring turnkey construction, facility upgrades, and infrastructure modernization services essential to sustaining Army installations across the Western United States.
