Grely M Ponce

Grely M. Ponce serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Southwest, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions to support naval infrastructure modernization across the Southwest region. In this role, Ponce ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement activities with the agency’s mission to sustain and enhance military facility readiness. They specialize in engineering services contracts, overseeing the solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts that deliver critical design, planning, and technical analysis for construction and utility systems. Their work directly enables operational resilience through infrastructure optimization and environmental compliance. Ponce maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration on complex, technically demanding projects requiring specialized expertise in civil engineering, environmental remediation, and facility systems integration. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and structured contract management to ensure deliverables meet stringent military standards. Ponce’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing vendor qualifications and past performance in engineering services over socioeconomic status. The primary NAICS code under Ponce’s purview is 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing a wide range of technical disciplines including structural, mechanical, and environmental engineering; geotechnical analysis; utility system design; and facility condition assessments. Their acquisitions are centered on professional engineering consulting, technical studies, and design-build support services essential to maintaining and upgrading naval installations in compliance with DoD and environmental regulatory frameworks.
