Caitlin Gann

Caitlin Gann supports the procurement mission of Navfacsyscom Northwest, a key component of the Department of the Navy responsible for delivering mission-critical infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. Though her official title is not specified, her role centers on managing technical and professional services acquisitions that enable naval readiness through facility modernization, environmental compliance, and energy infrastructure projects. She routinely handles complex contracting actions under FAR Part 36 and Part 37, focusing on design, engineering, and environmental consulting services essential to sustaining naval bases, shipyards, and utilities systems. Gann maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Contrack Watts Inc., Absher Construction Co., and Environmental Assessment Services, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in naval infrastructure support, environmental remediation, and technical consulting. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with proven track records in delivering high-compliance, mission-sensitive services under tight regulatory and operational constraints. Her procurement strategy strongly prioritizes small business participation, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity among qualified small firms while ensuring access to specialized technical capabilities. She rarely uses no-set-aside contracts, underscoring a consistent alignment with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals and a focus on building a resilient small business supply base. Gann’s primary NAICS focus lies in Computer Systems Design Services (541512) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), with significant activity in Environment, Conservation and Wildlife Organizations (813312). She procures a range of technical services including facility systems modeling, environmental impact assessments, sustainability planning, and IT integration for defense infrastructure—demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of engineering, environmental compliance, and naval operational requirements.
