Kristin Zambarano

Kristin Zambarano serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) 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 a diverse portfolio of construction and facility modernization contracts, with a primary focus on commercial and institutional building projects. Her work ensures operational readiness by overseeing the acquisition of design-build, renovation, and infrastructure sustainment services that align with Navy standards for durability, environmental compliance, and energy efficiency. Zambarano plays a central role in executing acquisition strategies that balance mission urgency with regulatory compliance under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. She maintains established working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 naval facility construction, marine infrastructure, and integrated mechanical systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and performance history, often leveraging task order and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to streamline delivery of recurring facility needs. Zambarano demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of her awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, 20% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts, and 10% reserved for women-owned small businesses. Her pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small and disadvantaged firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. She consistently integrates small business participation into prime and subcontracting plans across her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with secondary emphasis on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220) and nonhazardous waste treatment (562219). She specializes in acquisitions involving structural renovations, utility upgrades, and facility sustainment projects that support combat-ready base operations and environmental compliance.
