Chito Bong Carabeo

Chito Bong Carabeo serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Far East (NAVFACSYSCOM FE), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Indo-Pacific. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of construction, environmental, and facility sustainment contracts, Carabeo ensures mission-critical infrastructure projects—from base utilities to waste management—are executed in compliance with federal regulations and strategic resilience goals. His acquisitions primarily focus on specialty trade contracting, commercial construction, and environmental services, aligning with NAVFAC’s mandate to deliver reliable, resilient, and environmentally compliant facilities for forward-deployed forces. Carabeo maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including KANAGAWA NABCO PTY. LTD., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PAE DESIGN AND FACILITY MANAGEMENT, and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, technically capable vendors with proven track records in complex, high-stakes environments. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, with a focus on contractors capable of integrating engineering, environmental compliance, and rapid deployment requirements across austere and geographically dispersed locations. Carabeo’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic set-asides, though it does not preclude small business participation when they meet stringent performance criteria. His approach prioritizes mission necessity and contractor qualifications, aligning with NAVFAC’s urgent infrastructure demands in the Indo-Pacific theater. His primary NAICS focus areas include 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 562219 (Other Nonhazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), demonstrating deep expertise in integrated facility services, environmental remediation, and mission-support construction. He routinely procures specialized services such as utility modernization, hazardous waste handling, and institutional facility upgrades critical to sustaining naval operations in contested and remote regions.
