Kelsey Robinson

Kelsey Robinson serves as a Contract Specialist within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFACSE), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of construction acquisitions, from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration, with a primary focus on industrial building construction projects. Her work ensures timely, compliant, and cost-effective delivery of facilities that sustain naval readiness, including barracks, maintenance hangars, logistics centers, and other mission-support structures. Robinson operates within a high-stakes environment requiring strict adherence to FAR, DFARS, and Navy-specific procurement policies, ensuring all acquisitions align with strategic infrastructure priorities. Robinson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced federal construction contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, full-service general contractors with proven capabilities in complex industrial construction, site development, and facility modernization. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous pre-award evaluations, and post-award oversight to ensure quality, safety, and schedule compliance across geographically dispersed projects. Robinson’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she ensures all procurements comply with statutory requirements and maintain transparency in source selection under FAR Part 15. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 236210—Industrial Building Construction—where she specializes in procuring heavy-duty, mission-critical facilities requiring advanced structural systems, utility integration, and compliance with military construction standards. This domain demands deep technical understanding of industrial design specifications, bid evaluation criteria for heavy construction, and coordination with engineering and environmental compliance teams to deliver mission-ready infrastructure.
