Denise Winters

Denise Winters serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Southwest, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical military infrastructure projects across the Southwest region. She executes complex acquisitions under the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain, modernize, and enhance naval installation facilities, with a primary focus on solid waste collection and environmental services. Her work ensures operational readiness through compliant, timely, and cost-effective contracting mechanisms that align with federal regulations and environmental stewardship goals. She routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for specialized environmental remediation, waste management, and site development services. Denise maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 are built on proven technical capability in hazardous waste handling, landfill operations, recycling infrastructure, and utility site remediation. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contractor evaluation, and long-term service reliability over short-term cost savings, fostering collaborative, mission-critical vendor relationships. Denise’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible market capability rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing technical expertise and operational readiness over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her evaluations remain inclusive of all qualified vendors meeting stringent performance and compliance standards. Her primary NAICS specialization is 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), reflecting deep expertise in municipal and military waste management systems, including collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal services for hazardous and non-hazardous materials. She procures specialized environmental services critical to Navy facility compliance, with technical domain knowledge spanning EPA regulations, RCRA compliance, and DoD environmental sustainability mandates.
