John Bishop

John Bishop serves as a secondary contracting professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFACSYSCOM MID-ATLANTIC), supporting the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. He plays a vital role in executing the agency’s mandate to modernize aging facilities, sustain combat-ready bases, and deliver resilient utilities through timely and compliant contract actions. His responsibilities center on the execution of construction and engineering procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a primary focus on commercial and institutional building projects. He collaborates closely with program managers and engineers to translate operational requirements into solicitation documents, ensuring alignment with DoD standards and environmental compliance obligations. Bishop routinely engages 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 complex military construction, civil engineering, and facility modernization. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced contractors capable of managing multi-disciplinary projects involving structural, mechanical, and site development work, often under time-sensitive operational deadlines. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by unrestricted acquisitions, with only 3.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic prioritization of capacity and mission urgency over socioeconomic set-asides, though small business participation remains a secondary consideration where feasible. His procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in highway and bridge construction (237310), other heavy civil engineering (237990), and engineering services (541330). This demonstrates deep expertise in integrated facility development, from design-phase support to full-scale construction delivery, ensuring installations meet operational readiness and sustainability benchmarks.
