Chamel Adams

Chamel Adams serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition programs, Adams specializes in landscaping and site development contracts that ensure operational readiness and environmental compliance. Their work directly supports the modernization of aging installations, with a focus on sustainable site improvements, stormwater management, and grounds maintenance that enhance base functionality and resilience. Adams handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 14, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle cost efficiency. Adams 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 proven expertise in military installation support, landscape architecture, and heavy civil site work. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with DoD environmental standards, and the ability to execute complex, multi-phase projects under tight operational timelines. All acquisitions managed by Adams are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. No awards are issued to large businesses, ensuring that small business concerns—particularly those owned by veterans, women, or socially and economically disadvantaged individuals—have equitable access to mission-critical opportunities. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to strengthen regional small business capacity while aligning with DoD’s broader small business utilization mandates. The sole NAICS code focus is 561730 (Landscaping Services), indicating a specialized procurement domain centered on groundskeeping, turf management, irrigation systems, erosion control, native plant installation, and hardscape construction. Adams’ expertise lies in procuring services that support ecological sustainability, base aesthetics, and compliance with DoD Instruction 4715.12, ensuring that all landscaping efforts enhance both operational readiness and environmental stewardship.
