Cecilia a Kahan

Cecilia A. Kahan serves as an Invoice Technician at NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic, playing a critical role in the post-award administration of facility infrastructure contracts supporting naval operations across the Atlantic region and overseas installations. Responsible for ensuring accurate and timely invoice processing, payment compliance, and contract closeout documentation, she enables the seamless execution of the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize naval bases, shipyards, and expeditionary facilities. Her work directly supports the procurement lifecycle for engineering and construction-related services, acting as a vital link between contractors and financial systems to maintain fiscal accountability and operational readiness. Kahan regularly interfaces with a core group of prime contractors including MEB General Contractors Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, STANTEC-AECOM SIOP JV, M&N-BMCD LANT SIOP JV, and CAPE-APTIM JV1, LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on engineering services for facility upgrades, power and water resiliency projects, and munitions infrastructure modernization. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous adherence to contract specifications, consistent communication on deliverables, and proactive resolution of invoice discrepancies to ensure uninterrupted project timelines and contractor performance. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations, while 25% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising operational urgency or technical capability requirements. All of Kahan’s supported acquisitions fall under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring a singular focus on professional engineering support for naval infrastructure. This includes civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering services critical to facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and mission-critical modernization efforts across the Department of the Navy’s Atlantic footprint.
