Gary Milton serves as a Contract Specialist 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. He manages the full lifecycle of construction and engineering acquisitions, from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Navy-specific procurement policies. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex facility construction and modernization projects essential to operational readiness, with a focus on timely, cost-effective delivery of high-priority infrastructure. Gary maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced prime 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 commercial and institutional construction, site development, and integrated design-build delivery. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and collaborative contract management to ensure quality and schedule adherence on mission-critical projects. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Gary demonstrates a measurable commitment to small business participation, consistently awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), 8(a) competed programs, and Women-Owned Small Business set-asides. He actively leverages socioeconomic authorities to foster diversity in the contractor base while maintaining competitive integrity and mission alignment. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting a deep specialization in the design and construction of military facilities, barracks, administrative buildings, and support structures. He also frequently procures engineering services under NAICS 541330 and specialty trade work under NAICS 238990, demonstrating technical expertise in integrated construction delivery systems and facility sustainment programs.
