Kathleen Delashmitt

Kathleen Delashmitt serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Far East, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to ensure operational readiness of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Indo-Pacific. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical infrastructure projects, including construction, facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and utility modernization. Her acquisitions focus on delivering resilient, mission-critical facilities and services that sustain forward-deployed forces, with particular emphasis on base operating support and infrastructure sustainment. Delashmitt works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational requirements into compliant, risk-mitigated contract vehicles under FAR and DFARS frameworks. She maintains enduring relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including KANAGAWA NABCO PTY. LTD., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PAE DESIGN AND FACILITY MANAGEMENT, and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in commercial construction, facility management, and environmental remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements, fostering collaborative delivery models that align with mission-critical timelines. Delashmitt’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for full and open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued without set-asides. Only 6.7% of her acquisitions utilize Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2, reflecting a strategic focus on accessing specialized regional expertise in the Indo-Pacific theater rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not a primary driver, she ensures compliance with all applicable socioeconomic requirements when applicable, prioritizing capability and readiness over programmatic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 236220 (commercial building construction), 562211 (hazardous waste treatment), 541380 (testing laboratories), and 541350 (building inspection services). This reflects deep technical expertise in facility systems maintenance, environmental remediation, and structural integrity verification—domains essential to sustaining military infrastructure in austere and high-demand environments.
