Kathryn French Nethercutt

Kathryn French Nethercutt serves as a primary contracting professional within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. She manages the full lifecycle of construction acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration, with a focus on commercial and institutional building projects essential to operational readiness. Her work ensures that aging facilities are modernized and new infrastructure meets rigorous military standards for durability, sustainability, and compliance with federal construction codes. She maintains established working relationships with a core group of experienced construction 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 firms with proven expertise in complex, high-stakes military construction environments, often involving phased deliveries, strict security protocols, and coordination with multiple stakeholders across naval bases and shore installations. Nethercutt consistently applies a 100% Small Business Set-Aside strategy under FAR 19.5, ensuring all construction contracts are reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, fostering growth among small construction firms and promoting equitable access to federal opportunities without reliance on other set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for administrative, logistical, and operational facilities. She specializes in managing projects requiring compliance with UFC standards, sustainable design principles, and energy resilience requirements, demonstrating deep technical expertise in military construction delivery systems.
