Howard Girvin

Howard Girvin serves as a key procurement lead within Navfacsyscom Washington, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize critical naval infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing facility services acquisitions, he specializes in contracting for pest control and environmental health services essential to operational readiness and installation compliance. His portfolio focuses on ensuring safe, sanitary, and mission-ready environments through timely, compliant, and technically precise contract actions aligned with federal facilities standards. Girvin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, and Indian Township Sanchez Group, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for integrated service providers capable of delivering specialized environmental health solutions under complex federal regulatory frameworks. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to support recurring facility maintenance cycles across multiple military installations. A defining feature of Girvin’s procurement strategy is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of relevant contracts are reserved for small businesses. This reflects a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and the empowerment of small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation as a core component of mission success, not merely a compliance requirement. His primary acquisition focus is NAICS 561710—Exterminating and Pest Control Services—where he procures comprehensive integrated pest management, rodent control, vector surveillance, and environmental sanitation services. These services are critical to maintaining Navy facility health standards, preventing disease vectors, and ensuring compliance with DoD and EPA regulations. Girvin’s expertise lies in aligning technical service requirements with regulatory mandates to deliver resilient, mission-critical environmental health outcomes.
