Yamitza Ortiz

Yamitza Ortiz serves as a key procurement professional within the W075 Endist Los Angeles office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain military readiness through the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services. She manages a portfolio of construction and facility-related contracts under the W912PL contracting vehicle, specializing in commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and associated support services. Her work directly enables the operation and maintenance of Army installations by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical facilities and infrastructure enhancements aligned with DoD readiness priorities. Ortiz maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, KORTE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, BFBC LLC, MANSON CONSTRUCTION CO, and WU & ASSOCIATES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in complex construction environments and federal compliance standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and collaboration with contractors to meet stringent military construction timelines and quality benchmarks. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides and an additional 40% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster equitable access to federal opportunities while leveraging the specialized capabilities of small, veteran-led enterprises. She actively prioritizes small business participation in accordance with FAR 19.5 and aligns solicitations with applicable socioeconomic programs to maximize competition and community impact. Ortiz’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for 80% of her portfolio, encompassing new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades for military housing, administrative buildings, and operational support structures. The remaining 20% involves NAICS 518210 services, including data center infrastructure and secure computing environments essential to modern Army installations. Her expertise lies at the intersection of physical infrastructure and mission-critical IT systems, ensuring integrated, resilient facilities that support both personnel and operational technology needs.
