Shirl Rivera

Shirl Rivera serves as a key procurement professional within the 0413 AQ HQ RCO-HI, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining military readiness across the Pacific region. In this role, Rivera manages a diverse portfolio of acquisition actions focused on facility maintenance, environmental compliance, logistics support, and mission-enabling services critical to installation resilience. Their work ensures operational continuity through the timely award and administration of contracts for infrastructure, waste management, utilities, and technical services, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities in energy security and telecommunications. Rivera’s procurement activities are grounded in compliance with federal acquisition regulations and emphasize mission-critical service delivery across remote and high-demand operational environments. Rivera maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and specialized vendors capable of delivering complex, on-site services such as solid waste collection, electrical systems installation, and facility operations. The contracting pattern demonstrates a reliance on proven performers with demonstrated capability in Pacific-region logistics, environmental remediation, and installation support, fostering long-term vendor reliability and operational continuity. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Rivera’s socioeconomic contracting strategy, with over 55% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 11.1% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This reflects a deliberate effort to leverage small business innovation while ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities. The consistent use of set-asides underscores a dedication to fostering regional economic development and expanding the pool of qualified small business contractors in support of Army sustainability goals.
