David Potocek

David Potocek serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Washington, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize critical naval infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing operational readiness through resilient, energy-efficient facilities. His work primarily involves the full lifecycle management of design-build, architect-engineer, and general construction contracts, aligning procurement outcomes with strategic naval facility goals. Potocek maintains consistent working relationships with established prime contractors including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., and BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced firms with proven track records in naval and federal construction environments. He frequently collaborates with joint ventures and small business prime contractors, fostering partnerships that combine technical expertise with compliance rigor. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated project delivery, and adherence to Navy facility standards. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Potocek demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 12.5% of his portfolio structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic focus on enabling capable small firms to compete for meaningful infrastructure work, though he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a preference for broad small business eligibility over targeted socioeconomic programs. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with significant activity in architectural services under NAICS 541310. He regularly procures integrated design-build solutions, structural renovations, utility upgrades, and facility modernization services, demonstrating deep expertise in naval construction standards, building code compliance, and sustainable infrastructure practices.
