Sonya Diaz Deleon

Sonya A. Diaz DeLeon serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement analysis and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission through strategic sourcing of specialized goods and services. Her portfolio is dominated by complex procurements in shipbuilding and repair, requiring deep technical understanding of naval infrastructure and marine systems. She routinely handles competitive and non-competitive contracts under simplified acquisition procedures and sealed bidding, often coordinating with technical evaluators and legal counsel to ensure regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with industrial manufacturers and marine service providers, particularly those capable of supporting defense-related shipyard operations. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance-based contracting and clear deliverable standards, encouraging innovation and quality assurance through structured evaluation criteria and post-award oversight. Diaz DeLeon exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal portions of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5 and awarded without set-aside restrictions. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote competition among small businesses while maintaining flexibility for large-scale industrial requirements. Her approach supports broad-based small business inclusion without favoring specific socioeconomic categories, aligning with agency-wide goals for equitable access. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for 75% of her activity, indicating deep expertise in naval vessel maintenance, marine systems integration, and defense-related fabrication. Additional focus areas include fluid power components, metal window and door manufacturing, and mechanical power transmission equipment—domains requiring precision engineering and compliance with military specifications. Her technical acumen spans maritime infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, and specialized instructional services, positioning her as a specialist in complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions.
