Willie Torres

Willie Torres serves as Property Supervisor at Water Reclamation Enterprises, where he oversees the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical infrastructure equipment essential to wastewater treatment and water reuse operations. In this primary procurement role, he ensures that all property acquisitions align with the agency’s mission of environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance, focusing on high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and digital monitoring systems. His responsibilities include evaluating technical specifications, managing solicitation processes, and coordinating with engineering and operations teams to align procurement decisions with operational needs and long-term infrastructure resilience goals. Torres maintains collaborative relationships with specialized manufacturers and service providers who deliver precision-engineered equipment and integrated monitoring solutions. He works closely with vendors offering pumping systems, water quality sensors, and custom automation software, fostering partnerships grounded in technical competency, compliance with EPA and Florida DEP standards, and post-sale support capabilities. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, system interoperability, and long-term maintainability over low-cost bids, ensuring operational continuity in mission-critical water reclamation facilities. Torres’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his evaluations remain fully compliant with federal and state socioeconomic requirements, and he actively considers small business capabilities when technical requirements permit. His approach prioritizes performance and technical fit over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the agency’s operational imperatives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333414 for heating and thermal control equipment, 333914 for precision pumping and dispensing systems, and 541511 for custom computer programming services supporting SCADA and real-time monitoring platforms. He specializes in procuring industrial-grade hardware and software that enables automated control, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision-making across the agency’s water reclamation network.
