Alexander Watson

Alexander Watson serves as a key procurement lead within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver and sustain mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. He manages the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building construction projects, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing operational readiness through resilient, modernized facilities. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic focus on infrastructure modernization, environmental compliance, and base sustainment, with a primary emphasis on design-build and construction management contracts under FAR Part 36. Watson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of executing complex, multi-disciplinary construction projects under tight operational timelines. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and reliability in delivering mission-aligned facilities. A defining feature of Watson’s procurement strategy is his strong commitment to small business participation, with 92.9% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 7.1% designated as HUBZone set-asides. This reflects a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the region while leveraging the agility and innovation of small business contractors. His pattern of socioeconomic contracting aligns closely with DoD directives to enhance small business engagement in federal construction programs. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new construction, renovation, and infrastructure upgrades for military barracks, administrative facilities, training centers, and support buildings. Watson’s technical expertise lies in managing projects requiring coordination of structural, mechanical, and environmental systems to meet stringent DoD standards for durability, energy efficiency, and mission continuity.
