Sunshine Hernandez

Sunshine Hernandez serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Southwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient infrastructure and facility services across the Southwest region. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in construction, environmental remediation, and utility systems, Hernandez ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing operational readiness through timely delivery of mission-critical facilities. Their portfolio primarily encompasses capital construction, utility modernization, and long-term facilities support services, with a strong emphasis on environmental compliance and sustainable infrastructure solutions. Hernandez maintains established relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, hazardous waste remediation, and facility operations support. The working relationship pattern is characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based contract structures, and a focus on contractors with demonstrated technical capability in naval installation environments. Set-aside preferences show a strong orientation toward full and open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, 14.3% of contracts are competitively awarded under the 8(a) program, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation, particularly for specialized environmental and construction services where qualified 8(a) firms offer unique capabilities. Hernandez’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 221320 (Sewage Treatment Facilities), reflecting a strategic priority on water and wastewater infrastructure modernization. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and the equipment leasing categories 532111 and 532412, underscoring a holistic approach to facility sustainment that integrates operational logistics, temporary equipment procurement, and outsourced maintenance services. Their expertise lies at the intersection of civil engineering, environmental regulation, and facility lifecycle management.
