Alvaretta N Fortuna

Alvaretta N. Fortuna serves as a Contract Specialist within NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and DoD-specific regulations. Her acquisitions primarily support facility sustainment, environmental services, and transportation logistics essential to operational readiness, with a focus on construction support, waste management, and mobility services that directly enable base functionality and mission continuity. Fortuna maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 established firms with proven capabilities in civil works, marine construction, and infrastructure support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaborations grounded in technical competence and regulatory compliance. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40.9% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, she actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for small businesses, aligning with DoD’s broader goals of equitable access and workforce development in defense contracting. Fortuna’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 485410 (School and Employee Bus Transportation) and 485510 (Charter Bus Industry), supporting personnel movement across installations, alongside significant activity in waste management services (NAICS 562998 and 562111) and architectural services (NAICS 541310). Her technical expertise lies at the intersection of facility operations, environmental compliance, and logistical support, ensuring that procurement decisions directly enhance the readiness and sustainability of naval installations.
