Keetje Straub

Keetje Straub serves as the primary contracting representative for Navfacsyscom Washington, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and facility services for U.S. Navy installations across the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and facilities support contracts, Straub ensures alignment with the Department of the Navy’s strategic priorities in operational readiness, energy resilience, and sustainable infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on complex, integrated projects requiring coordination between engineering, environmental compliance, and construction disciplines, with a focus on delivering high-performance, long-term facility solutions. Straub maintains strong, recurring partnerships with a core group of prime contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., and BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, reflecting a preference for established, high-capacity firms with proven expertise in naval facility programs. These relationships are characterized by collaborative pre-solicitation engagement, performance-based contract structures, and consistent recompetition among qualified vendors. She also regularly engages Indian Township Sanchez Group, LLC, underscoring a deliberate emphasis on tribal economic development and culturally informed project delivery. Her procurement strategy is heavily skewed toward 8(a) competed set-asides, with nearly 78% of awards designated for small disadvantaged businesses, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic equity and small business empowerment. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to cultivate a diverse supplier base while ensuring technical competency and capacity in complex construction environments. Non-set-aside acquisitions are reserved for situations requiring specialized capabilities or urgent operational needs. Straub’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she manages large-scale facility modernization, renovation, and new construction projects. Secondary areas include NAICS 238220 for mechanical systems integration and NAICS 562112 for hazardous waste collection and abatement, highlighting her expertise in compliance-driven, environmentally sensitive infrastructure work. Her domain knowledge spans building envelope systems, HVAC retrofits, and hazardous material remediation, all aligned with Navy facility standards and sustainability mandates.
