Emily Walton

Emily Walton serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. She manages a portfolio of construction and facility sustainment contracts, with a focus on site preparation, roofing, and building systems modernization. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring bases maintain compliant, safe, and high-performance infrastructure through timely and efficient acquisition processes aligned with FAR and DOD contracting policies. Walton 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 firms with proven track records in military construction, site development, and facility rehabilitation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, quality control, and compliance with military construction standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and technical competence. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of awards set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and nearly equal allocations to Women-Owned Small Businesses and HUBZone firms. This balanced socioeconomic approach ensures broad vendor access while promoting economic resilience within underserved communities. Her consistent use of targeted set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to diversify the contractor base and strengthen regional economic development alongside mission delivery. Walton’s technical focus centers on NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors), reflecting a heavy emphasis on earthmoving, grading, and utility rough-ins essential to base modernization. She also regularly procures roofing (238160) and HVAC/plumbing services (238220), underscoring her expertise in facility lifecycle management. Her acquisitions prioritize durable, code-compliant solutions that extend asset life and reduce long-term maintenance burdens across aging naval infrastructure.
