Brittany Cristelli

Brittany Cristelli serves as a primary contracting professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic), responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure projects across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mandate to modernize aging facilities, sustain combat-ready bases, and deliver resilient utilities and construction assets that support operational readiness. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex construction and civil engineering procurements, including new builds, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship requirements. Cristelli maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced construction 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, high-performing firms with demonstrated expertise in commercial and institutional building construction and heavy civil engineering. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 80% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions, while maintaining a deliberate 20% allocation to 8(a) competed contracts. This balance reflects a commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising mission requirements or schedule integrity. She actively leverages the 8(a) program to develop capable small firms while ensuring full and open competition remains the foundation of her acquisition strategy. Cristelli’s technical focus is centered on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 80% of her portfolio, with additional emphasis on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). She routinely procures services related to structural construction, site development, utility systems integration, and base infrastructure modernization, demonstrating deep expertise in delivering mission-aligned facilities that meet DoD standards for durability, sustainability, and operational functionality.
