Ericka 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 diverse portfolio of construction and facilities support contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing operational readiness through timely delivery of modernized bases and utilities. Her acquisitions primarily focus on commercial and institutional building construction, with frequent emphasis on sustainment, renovation, and infrastructure modernization projects that align with naval readiness objectives. Bishop maintains strong, ongoing 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 naval facility projects, particularly those requiring integrated design-build, MEP systems, and site development capabilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and collaborative project execution to meet stringent military standards. A defining feature of Bishop’s procurement strategy is her robust commitment to small business participation, with 86.6% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs, including HUBZone and 8(a) set-asides, fostering equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for underserved communities and veteran-owned firms. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to strengthen regional economic resilience while expanding the pool of qualified contractors capable of supporting naval infrastructure needs. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220), and ancillary facilities support services (561210). She specializes in procurements requiring coordination of structural, mechanical, and environmental systems to ensure long-term operational sustainability of naval installations.
