Chelsea Dean

Chelsea Dean serves as a procurement professional within Naval Facilities Systems Command Southeast (NAVFACSE), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. She manages the acquisition of professional and management development training services, ensuring naval personnel and civilian staff receive high-quality, standards-aligned education and workforce development programs. Her role is central to sustaining operational readiness through strategic human capital investments, and she oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition and market research to award and performance monitoring—primarily under the NAICS 611430 category. Her primary contractor relationships include BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC, WALSH FEDERAL LLC, SAUER CONSTRUCTION, LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and KIRA AVIATION SERVICES LLC. While these firms are typically associated with construction and facility services, their engagement in this context reflects their capacity to deliver integrated training solutions tied to facility operations, safety compliance, and workforce certification. Dean fosters long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of scaling customized learning programs across multiple naval installations and overseas commands. Dean’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging market-wide expertise rather than socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over certification-based preferences. Her approach aligns with NAVFACSE’s need for scalable, high-fidelity training services that meet stringent DoD standards. Her domain expertise is concentrated in NAICS 611430, focusing exclusively on professional and management development training. She procures curriculum design, instructor-led and virtual learning platforms, leadership development programs, safety and compliance training, and workforce certification services essential to maintaining naval facility operations, environmental compliance, and mission readiness.
