Elliott Penetrante

Elliott Penetrante serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Southwest (N62473), responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction, engineering, and IT-related acquisitions in support of naval infrastructure across the Southwest region. His role ensures compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to sustain, modernize, and enhance military facilities through resilient building systems, utility upgrades, and environmental compliance initiatives. He routinely handles competitive and negotiated procurements under NAICS codes related to commercial and institutional construction, engineering services, and custom computer programming, balancing operational readiness with fiscal accountability and regulatory rigor. Penetrante maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime 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 experienced firms capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary projects involving site development, environmental remediation, and facility modernization. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, robust contract administration, and collaborative vendor engagement to ensure mission-critical deliverables are met on schedule and within scope. His procurement patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with half of his awards issued under open competition and the remainder strategically set aside for 8(a) firms, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and total small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster small business participation while maintaining competition and quality standards across high-priority infrastructure initiatives. His technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services), with additional emphasis on 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) for facility automation and energy management systems. He specializes in procuring integrated solutions that combine civil works, mechanical systems, and digital infrastructure to support Navy installations’ long-term operational resilience and environmental compliance.
