Kristy Gerrek

Kristy Gerrek serves as a primary contracting professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic, where she plays a central role in executing mission-critical construction and engineering acquisitions for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on the planning, design, and construction of resilient infrastructure, including commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities, as well as heavy civil engineering projects essential to operational readiness. Her work directly supports NAVFAC’s mandate to modernize aging infrastructure, sustain combat-ready bases, and ensure environmental compliance through timely and compliant procurement actions. Gerrek maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including Ryan Construction Co. Inc., Weeks-Cashman JV, Appledore Marine – CH2M JV, W.M. Jordan Company, Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven track records in complex government construction environments. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-standing, high-performance vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions across multiple technical domains, often involving multi-year, multi-phase project delivery. Her procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 65% of acquisitions conducted as open competitions and a deliberate allocation of 20% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, alongside 15% designated for 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced approach demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, actively fostering opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses while maintaining competition and performance standards. Gerrek’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting her expertise in facility modernization, site development, and infrastructure resilience projects. She also regularly procures specialized services in painting and wall covering (238320) and engineering design (541330), underscoring her comprehensive oversight of integrated construction delivery systems.
