Deanna Ward

Deanna Ward serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Washington (NAVFACSYSCOM N40080), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain, modernize, and expand critical naval infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. She manages the acquisition of construction and facilities support services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with strategic readiness goals. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction projects, including barracks, administrative facilities, and mission-critical infrastructure upgrades, all designed to enhance operational resilience and energy efficiency. Ward’s work directly enables the Navy’s long-term facility sustainment objectives through timely, compliant, and mission-driven contracting actions. She maintains established relationships with core contractors including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., and BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced, full-service design-build and construction management firms with proven track records in federal facility delivery. These partnerships are characterized by collaborative, performance-based engagement, often involving integrated project delivery methods and design-build contracting models to accelerate timelines and improve outcomes. Her procurement approach emphasizes contractor reliability, technical competence, and adherence to Navy facility standards. Ward’s contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions issued without set-aside restrictions, while 16.7% are awarded as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition and capability while actively creating opportunities for qualified small businesses, particularly in construction and engineering services. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with secondary activity in NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction). She specializes in procuring comprehensive construction services including site development, structural systems, mechanical and electrical installations, and facility modernization—ensuring naval installations meet current operational, environmental, and energy efficiency standards.
