Eleanor J. Drake

Eleanor J. Drake serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Northwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility modernization, environmental compliance, and energy infrastructure, with particular emphasis on shipyard sustainment and utility system upgrades. Her role involves executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring alignment with DoD standards and naval operational readiness requirements. Drake’s work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities by securing technical and construction services that maintain and enhance naval installation capabilities. She maintains established relationships with core contractors including CONTRACK WATTS INC, ABSHER CONSTRUCTION CO, and ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SERVICES, LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced firms with proven expertise in naval infrastructure, environmental remediation, and compliance services. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on repeat performers with deep domain knowledge in complex, regulated environments, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on technical reliability and regulatory adherence. Drake exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately half of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business participation. The remaining half are awarded without set-aside, typically for specialized or mission-critical services requiring broad market competition. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to promote small business engagement while maintaining flexibility for high-complexity procurements. Her procurement focus is evenly distributed across four NAICS categories: 519130 (Other Information Services), 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), 712110 (Museums), and 924120 (Administration of Conservation Programs). These reflect a unique blend of technical, environmental, and cultural infrastructure needs—spanning data management systems, environmental testing, heritage preservation, and conservation program administration—all in support of naval base operations and regulatory compliance.
