Craig Powell

Craig Powell serves as a key procurement lead 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. He manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on landscaping and site development services essential to base sustainability, environmental compliance, and operational readiness. His work ensures that installations maintain functional, aesthetically appropriate, and ecologically sound grounds through contract vehicles aligned with federal acquisition regulations. Powell’s role is central to executing the agency’s infrastructure modernization and maintenance priorities, particularly in sustaining combat-ready facilities under evolving environmental and resilience standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of 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 are characterized by long-term engagement on complex, multi-year landscaping and site improvement projects requiring specialized expertise in erosion control, turf management, irrigation systems, and sustainable hardscaping. Powell fosters collaborative contracting environments that emphasize performance-based outcomes, quality assurance, and compliance with military installation standards. Powell demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally based firms capable of delivering high-quality, labor-intensive landscaping services. This approach aligns with DoD socioeconomic goals and reinforces regional economic resilience through targeted small business development. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), encompassing site preparation, vegetation management, stormwater infrastructure landscaping, and native plant installation. He specializes in acquiring services that support environmental stewardship, low-impact development, and installation beautification—all critical to sustaining naval operational readiness and regulatory compliance.
