Bai Perney

Bai Perney serves as a Contracting Officer for Navfacsyscom Far East, responsible for executing mission-critical procurement actions that support the operational readiness of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Indo-Pacific region. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of construction, facility maintenance, and infrastructure sustainment contracts, ensuring compliance with DoD standards and alignment with strategic priorities in energy resilience and environmental compliance. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex, high-stakes acquisitions for base operating support, utility modernization, and facility construction, requiring meticulous oversight of technical specifications, performance metrics, and contract closeout procedures. Perney maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including KANAGAWA NABCO PTY. LTD., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PAE DESIGN AND FACILITY MANAGEMENT, and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military infrastructure, heavy construction, and environmental services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contractor evaluation, and consistent delivery of mission-essential facilities under austere and forward-deployed conditions. Perney’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. She does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and readiness to meet urgent operational timelines over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423110 (Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle Merchant Wholesalers), indicating significant acquisition activity for vehicle parts, maintenance supplies, and fleet support equipment essential to installation operations. Complementing this, she also manages NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) contracts for facility upgrades and infrastructure modernization. Her expertise spans technical domains including military vehicle logistics, utility systems integration, and facility sustainment, making her a critical enabler of force readiness in the Indo-Pacific theater.
