Kiana Owens

Kiana Owens serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (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 acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building construction projects, ensuring alignment with defense readiness goals, sustainability standards, and facility modernization priorities. Her work encompasses full-spectrum contracting for new construction, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades, with a focus on delivering high-performance facilities that sustain operational capabilities and support long-term base resilience. Owens maintains consistent 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 established firms with proven track records in complex federal construction environments, often involving multi-disciplinary teams and integrated design-build delivery methods. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with federal construction codes, and contractor accountability throughout project execution. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and value through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of facility readiness and construction expertise over socioeconomic targeting. Owens specializes exclusively in NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — overseeing the procurement of large-scale facility projects including administrative buildings, barracks, training centers, and support infrastructure. Her domain expertise lies in managing construction contracts requiring adherence to Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards, energy efficiency mandates, and Navy-specific facility design criteria, ensuring that all delivered assets meet rigorous operational and safety standards.
