Stacy Valdez

Stacy Valdez serves as a Contracting Officer for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services essential to naval and marine force readiness. Her portfolio centers on sustaining combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure, ensuring operational reliability across both garrison and forward-deployed environments. Valdez manages full-cycle acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, frequently utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and performance-based service agreements to meet dynamic operational demands. She is deeply embedded in the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain equipment readiness through agile, responsive procurement practices. Valdez maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These vendors provide specialized technical services ranging from equipment overhaul and avionics support to logistics coordination and mission-critical spare parts supply. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics, quality assurance, and rapid response capabilities, fostering reliability in high-tempo operational settings. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Valdez exclusively employs Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This deliberate strategy prioritizes economic inclusion while leveraging the agility and niche expertise of small firms to meet specialized technical requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, consistently awarding contracts to small businesses without favoring specific subsets such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead maintaining broad eligibility within the small business category. Her procurement focus spans technical domains including military equipment maintenance, logistics support systems, and expeditionary infrastructure sustainment. While specific NAICS codes are not available, her work routinely involves services related to mechanical and electrical system repair, technical supply chain management, and mission-enabling technical support—domains requiring deep familiarity with naval and marine corps operational standards and defense logistics protocols.
