Theresa Rodriguez

Theresa Rodriguez serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Irwin under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing critical support contracts that sustain operational readiness at Fort Irwin, California. Her work centers on acquiring essential services to maintain infrastructure in austere, remote environments, with a focus on sanitation, facility maintenance, and logistical enablers. She oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-critical timelines. Her portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts that support hygiene, waste management, and equipment maintenance systems vital to force sustainment. Rodriguez cultivates partnerships with a diverse array of vendors, particularly small businesses capable of delivering specialized maintenance and environmental services in challenging operational conditions. She works closely with contractors experienced in remote-site operations, including firms with expertise in septic system servicing, industrial machinery repair, and communications equipment support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, rapid response, and technical proficiency, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on performance accountability and regulatory compliance. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Rodriguez consistently prioritizes small business participation, with nearly 43% of her awards designated for total small business set-asides and nearly 29% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms while ensuring mission-critical capabilities are met. She actively leverages FAR 19.5 set-asides and aligns solicitations with socioeconomic goals to enhance diversity in the supplier base. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories including 811121 (automotive body and paint repair), 562991 (septic tank and related services), and 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), reflecting deep expertise in environmental and mechanical sustainment. She also procures specialized equipment under 334111 and 334220, demonstrating technical fluency in both electronic systems and field-deployable infrastructure. Rodriguez’s domain knowledge spans the intersection of military logistics, environmental compliance, and facility resilience in high-tempo training environments.
