Christine Wendle

Christine Wendle 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. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and facility support contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing operational readiness through timely delivery of infrastructure upgrades. Her acquisitions primarily focus on civil works, utility modernization, and facility sustainment projects, requiring coordination with design-build teams, environmental consultants, and specialized trade contractors to meet stringent military standards. Wendle maintains consistent working relationships with established prime 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 experienced firms capable of executing complex, multi-disciplinary projects involving site development, electrical systems, marine infrastructure, and environmental remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term contractor reliability over transactional procurement. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of awards issued as no-set-aside actions, while maintaining a deliberate 25% allocation to 8(a) competed contracts. This balance ensures broad market access while actively supporting small business development and socioeconomic goals under the Small Business Act. She demonstrates a structured commitment to fostering competitive small business participation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical standards. Wendle’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 321991 (Manufactured Home Manufacturing), NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors). These reflect a specialized need for temporary housing solutions, land management support for base expansion, and mission-critical electrical installation services. Her technical expertise lies in integrating sustainable construction practices, utility resilience, and compliance with DoD environmental and energy efficiency mandates within facility lifecycle management.
