Borden serves as Supervisor Contract Specialist at NAVFACSYSCOM Southeast, where she oversees the planning, execution, and administration of complex procurement actions critical to naval infrastructure readiness. In this leadership role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while guiding teams through the full lifecycle of contracts for facility construction, base operations support, and professional services. Her portfolio primarily includes design-build, construction management, and facilities support acquisitions, aligning with NAVFAC’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas.
