Edward A Alston

Edward A. Alston serves as a Contract Specialist with NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and infrastructure acquisitions to support naval operations across the Atlantic region and overseas installations. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation through contract award and administration—he specializes in design-build, construction management, and integrated facility services contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize naval bases, shipyards, and expeditionary facilities. His portfolio emphasizes mission-critical infrastructure projects requiring compliance with federal construction standards and environmental regulations. Alston maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including MEB General Contractors Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Stantec-AECOM SIOP JV, M&N-BMCD LANT SIOP JV, and Cape-Aptim JV1, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and experienced firms capable of delivering large-scale, multi-disciplinary construction and engineering services under tight operational timelines. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous source selection, and post-award oversight to ensure quality, safety, and mission readiness. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for over 22% of awards and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 representing nearly 15%. While the majority of contracts remain unrestricted, Alston actively prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified as HUBZone or service-disabled veteran-owned, aligning with DoD mandates to enhance competitive diversity. Alston’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting his focus on transportation infrastructure and facility modernization. He also routinely procures related services such as water and sewer line construction, landscaping, and septic system maintenance, demonstrating a holistic approach to base sustainment and resilience. His domain knowledge spans civil works, utilities infrastructure, and expeditionary facility support, ensuring alignment with naval operational requirements.
