Eileen Mieko Cole

Eileen Mieko Cole serves as a primary contracting professional within NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical infrastructure acquisitions for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and facility modernization contracts, she ensures alignment with DoD readiness objectives by overseeing the procurement of resilient, mission-sustaining facilities and utilities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, mechanical systems integration, and civil infrastructure projects, all aimed at modernizing aging base infrastructure while maintaining strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Cole maintains consistent 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 established general contractors and joint ventures with specialized technical capabilities in facility construction and utility systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, design-build delivery methods, and contractor accountability for schedule and quality compliance. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity, Cole consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 88.2% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 5.9% are designated as HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to channel opportunities toward geographically disadvantaged firms. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a robust commitment to fostering small business growth within the defense construction sector. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), underscoring expertise in building envelope systems, HVAC integration, and mechanical infrastructure upgrades. She frequently procures services related to energy-efficient retrofits, life-cycle maintenance, and code-compliant facility enhancements, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in sustainable military construction practices.
