Caitlin Smylie

Caitlin Smylie serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Northwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver mission-critical infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisition actions focused on facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and operational support services essential to naval readiness. Her work spans the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirement validation and market research to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and naval infrastructure priorities. Smylie specializes in non-construction services that enable the agency’s core functions, particularly in technical, administrative, and environmental domains. She maintains established relationships with a select group of trusted contractors, including Contrack Watts Inc., AbsHER Construction Co., and Environmental Assessment Services, LLC, which consistently deliver high-quality engineering, construction, and environmental compliance services. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in naval facility operations and regulatory adherence. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical proficiency, and performance history over frequent vendor rotation, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors who understand the unique demands of military infrastructure environments. Smylie’s procurement activity is entirely aligned with full and open competition, with no set-asides designated across her portfolio. This reflects a strategic focus on securing specialized capabilities from the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors, prioritizing technical merit and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally targeted, all awards are evaluated under standard competitive procedures consistent with DoD acquisition policy. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 561320 (Temporary Help Services), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), indicating a strong operational reliance on IT infrastructure support, workforce augmentation, and facility maintenance. These categories underscore her expertise in sustaining mission-critical naval installations through integrated service delivery rather than capital construction.
