Sunshine Hernandez

Sunshine Hernandez serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Southwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southwest region. Responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building construction projects, Hernandez ensures that facility modernization, utility upgrades, and environmental compliance initiatives align with naval operational readiness requirements. Her work centers on end-to-end contract management for large-scale construction efforts, including design-build, renovation, and new construction of military installations, with a focus on adhering to federal acquisition regulations and sustaining aging infrastructure under strict environmental and safety standards. Hernandez maintains consistent contracting relationships with established 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 experienced, full-service firms capable of delivering complex construction and environmental remediation services under tight operational timelines. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, robust technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability over rapid turnover, fostering stable, high-performing contractor teams. Hernandez’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in award structure, her contracting decisions remain compliant with all federal small business goals and often include subcontracting opportunities as part of prime contractor performance plans. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing the procurement of design, construction, and renovation services for military barracks, administrative facilities, training centers, and support infrastructure. Hernandez specializes in acquisitions requiring integrated civil, mechanical, and environmental systems, demonstrating deep expertise in construction specifications, building codes, and sustainable facility standards aligned with Navy energy and water resilience goals.
