Ericka J. Bishop

Ericka J. Bishop serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom 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 high-volume portfolio of construction and facility modernization contracts, focusing on the planning, design, and execution of commercial and institutional building projects essential to operational readiness. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s strategic goals of infrastructure sustainability and combat readiness through timely, efficient contracting processes. Bishop 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 expertise in complex military construction environments, often involving integrated design-build or performance-based delivery methods. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to stringent DoD standards for quality and safety. A defining feature of Bishop’s procurement strategy is her overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with 97.8% of her awards set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained focus on fostering economic opportunity through socioeconomic contracting, with minimal use of no-set-aside or 8(a) competed mechanisms. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business prime contractors, reinforcing Navfac’s mandate to maximize vendor diversity and community impact. Her technical domain centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for nearly three-quarters of her acquisitions, supplemented by significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220) and limited highway and bridge construction (237310). She specializes in procuring integrated facility upgrades, utility modernizations, and mission-support infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in construction delivery systems aligned with DoD facility standards.
