Dawn Brown

Dawn M. Brown serves as a Contracting Officer for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic), where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction, maintenance, and environmental infrastructure contracts critical to Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on the planning, design, and execution of mission-critical facilities and utilities across the Mid-Atlantic region, with a strong emphasis on modernizing aging infrastructure and ensuring sustainable, combat-ready bases. She routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing timely delivery of high-integrity projects that align with DoD resilience and environmental compliance standards. Brown maintains established working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 firms with proven expertise in civil works, marine construction, and site development, often involving joint ventures and multi-disciplinary teams capable of executing complex, geographically dispersed projects under stringent military standards. She demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a quarter reserved specifically for HUBZone firms. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns consistently prioritize disadvantaged and regionally focused small businesses, aligning with Navfac’s mandate to stimulate local economic development while ensuring qualified vendor capacity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), which accounts for nearly two-thirds of her activity, alongside NAICS 562998 (All Other Miscellaneous Waste Management Services). This reflects deep technical expertise in environmental site restoration, grounds maintenance, and sustainable waste management solutions essential to military base sustainability and regulatory compliance.
