Tony L Flores

Tony L. Flores serves as a Contracting Specialist at U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda (70Z031), where he plays a pivotal role in executing facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining maritime operational readiness. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and renovation contracts, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain safe, resilient facilities across the Pacific region. His portfolio primarily encompasses heavy civil engineering, specialty trade construction, and environmental compliance projects, requiring precise coordination with engineers, environmental specialists, and field personnel to align contracting outcomes with mission-critical infrastructure needs. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Flores maintains robust working relationships with a diverse ecosystem of construction and specialty trade vendors, including small businesses certified under multiple socioeconomic programs. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor performance evaluations to ensure quality, safety, and timeliness in facility upgrades and repairs. A strong advocate for small business participation, Flores consistently prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with over 72% of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly 27% awarded through 8(a) competed pathways. This reflects a deliberate, sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity for disadvantaged entrepreneurs and promoting equitable access to federal construction contracts. His industry focus centers on NAICS codes 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering), and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with additional emphasis on plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and flooring systems. Flores brings specialized expertise in procuring complex, multi-trade construction services that support Coast Guard housing, operational facilities, and environmental remediation projects, ensuring technical compliance and long-term facility sustainability.
