Eley DeCuba

Eley DeCuba serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Southwest, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical military infrastructure across the Southwest region. In this role, she executes complex acquisitions under the Department of the Navy’s facility modernization mission, focusing on construction, environmental compliance, and utilities infrastructure. Her portfolio includes competitively awarded contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, facility support services, and environmental remediation systems, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and operational readiness goals. DeCuba works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to structure solicitations that balance mission needs with fiscal responsibility and regulatory compliance. She maintains established 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 reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military facility construction, hazardous material abatement, and integrated facility services. DeCuba fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships, emphasizing accountability, schedule adherence, and technical precision in deliverables. While the majority of her acquisitions—approximately 90%—are conducted without set-asides, she consistently reserves 10% for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes broad-based small business engagement over niche categories, supporting a diverse pool of qualified contractors without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 334512 (environmental control systems), 236220 (commercial/institutional construction), and 561210 (facilities support services), with additional emphasis on architectural design (541310) and landscaping (561730). DeCuba’s technical expertise lies in procuring integrated building systems, utility upgrades, and maintenance services essential to sustaining naval installation resilience and environmental compliance.
