Debbie R Buckley

Debbie R. Buckley serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Systems and Experimental Warfare Center, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support the Department of the Navy’s advanced maritime research and operational readiness initiatives. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements for technical services critical to experimental warfare systems, ocean infrastructure development, and explosive effects analysis. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering, scientific, and professional technical services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting actions with NAVFAC’s mission to innovate and sustain naval capabilities in dynamic maritime environments. Buckley maintains strategic relationships with a select group of high-impact contractors, including SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE MONTAJES INDUSTRIALES SA, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Emerging Compounds Treatment Technologies, Inc., among others. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized scientific research, environmental remediation, and advanced engineering solutions. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established technical vendors with proven expertise in oceanographic systems, environmental modeling, and defense-related R&D, fostering long-term collaborations grounded in technical rigor and mission alignment. Her procurement approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 92.3% of awards issued under unrestricted competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the services required. However, she consistently incorporates small business participation where feasible, with 7.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Buckley’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541330 (Engineering Services), which dominates her portfolio, alongside 541990 (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). She routinely procures services related to systems engineering, environmental testing, data analytics, and technical training for naval personnel, underscoring her deep expertise in supporting cutting-edge defense science and technology acquisition.
