Crystal Irvin

Crystal Irvin serves as a Contract Specialist for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southwest (NAVFACSW), where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical military infrastructure across the Southwest region. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for construction, engineering, and environmental services essential to naval installation readiness. She specializes in complex, mission-critical acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in facility modernization, utility resilience, and environmental stewardship. Irvin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in commercial and institutional construction, environmental remediation, and infrastructure systems. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous source selection, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure quality, safety, and mission continuity. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 44% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Irvin actively prioritizes small business participation, consistently structuring requirements to enable eligibility for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms without compromising technical rigor or schedule integrity. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she leads acquisitions for new construction, renovation, and facility sustainment projects. She also manages contracts in related domains including plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220), highway and bridge construction (237310), and oil and gas pipeline infrastructure (237120), demonstrating broad expertise in mission-critical civil works and building systems essential to naval operational readiness.
