Brooks Sumner

Brooks Sumner serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure acquisition programs for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. He plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements aligned with the agency’s mandate to modernize aging facilities, sustain combat-ready bases, and ensure environmental compliance. His portfolio primarily encompasses design-build, construction management, and hardhat construction contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on delivering resilient, mission-supportive infrastructure through competitive and compliant contracting practices. Sumner 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 demonstrated expertise in complex federal construction environments, often involving multi-disciplinary teams and integrated project delivery methods. His approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and proactive contractor engagement to ensure timely, safe, and quality-driven project execution. A defining feature of Sumner’s contracting strategy is his strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 70.7% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages HUBZone set-asides and prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster regional economic development and enhance vendor diversity. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to create equitable access to federal construction opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms. His technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for over 80% of his acquisitions, supplemented by specialized work in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning (238220) and roofing (238160). Sumner’s expertise lies in procuring integrated facility upgrades, including structural renovations, mechanical system replacements, and utility modernizations essential to naval operational readiness.
