Esma Erisen

Esma Erisen serves as a Contracting Officer for Navfacsyscom Europe Africa Central (N33191), where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and engineering acquisitions in support of U.S. Navy infrastructure across Europe, Africa, and Central regions. Her portfolio encompasses mission-critical facilities including command centers, medical clinics, lodging, and utility systems, ensuring alignment with force readiness and expeditionary operational requirements. Erisen exercises full contracting authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, overseeing competitive solicitations, contract award, and performance monitoring for complex, high-stakes projects that demand technical precision and regulatory compliance. Erisen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of international and regional contractors, including SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE MONTAJES INDUSTRIALES SA, SWABIAN CONCEPT LIMITED, KVG LLC, and AJ SOLUTIONS SH.P.K. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and engineering services, often operating across multiple theaters with established logistics and compliance frameworks. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and contractor accountability in austere or politically sensitive environments. Erisen’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside preference, indicating a strategic emphasis on open competition to secure the highest technical capability and operational reliability. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, she ensures all solicitations adhere to fair and transparent competition standards, enabling qualified small businesses to compete on an equal footing without preferential treatment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which constitutes two-thirds of her portfolio, encompassing design, planning, and technical oversight for military infrastructure. The remaining third falls under NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting her hands-on management of large-scale site development, earthwork, and utility integration projects. Erisen’s expertise is deeply rooted in the technical demands of military construction, requiring coordination across civil, structural, and environmental engineering disciplines.
