Sonsiree Lagunas

Sonsiree Lagunas serves as a key procurement professional within the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and engineering services. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Lagunas oversees contracts for ship repair, infrastructure modernization, and specialized industrial equipment, ensuring alignment with naval engineering standards and operational readiness requirements. Their work directly enables the maintenance and lifecycle support of fleet assets by securing critical capabilities in shipbuilding, structural fabrication, and heavy civil construction. Lagunas maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industrial contractors, including W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in marine construction, industrial scaffolding systems, marine propulsion equipment, and protective coatings. The procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with an emphasis on technical compliance, safety standards, and long-term maintenance support capabilities. A strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Lagunas’ award patterns, with 20% of procurements designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and another 20% reserved under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program (FAR 19.5). While 60% of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand the industrial base supporting naval maintenance operations. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting core shipyard modernization efforts. Additional focus areas include 237990 (Heavy Civil Engineering), 332321 (Metal Window and Door Manufacturing), and 327331 (Concrete Block and Brick Manufacturing), indicating a broad need for structural, architectural, and marine construction components. Lagunas’ expertise lies in integrating technical specifications with industrial supply chain requirements to deliver mission-critical infrastructure and equipment for naval fleet sustainment.
