Katherine Fogle

Katherine Fogle serves as a Contract Specialist within NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize critical naval infrastructure across the Atlantic region and overseas installations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for complex facility and utility systems, with a primary focus on natural gas distribution infrastructure. Her acquisitions encompass design-build, construction, and integrated operational support contracts essential to enhancing energy resiliency, munitions handling capabilities, and base modernization efforts. Fogle ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract outcomes with strategic naval readiness objectives. Fogle maintains established working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including MEB General Contractors Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Stantec-AECOM SIOP JV, M&N-BMCD LANT SIOP JV, and Cape-Aptim JV1, LLC. These partnerships are typically structured as long-term, performance-based agreements involving engineering, construction, and facility systems integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes contractor performance accountability, technical compliance, and schedule adherence across mission-critical infrastructure projects, often requiring coordination between multiple federal stakeholders and field installations. Fogle’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic alignment with NAVFAC’s priority to leverage large-scale, technically capable contractors capable of delivering complex, high-risk infrastructure upgrades under stringent military operational requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal socioeconomic policies and fair competition standards. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 221210 — Natural Gas Distribution — encompassing the design, installation, and maintenance of gas distribution systems, metering infrastructure, and associated safety and control systems. Fogle’s expertise lies in procuring specialized utility infrastructure that supports naval base energy resilience, including pipeline upgrades, pressure regulation systems, and hazardous material handling integration, requiring deep technical understanding of utility engineering standards and DoD facility codes.
