Kyle Vaughan

Kyle Vaughan 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. He manages the full lifecycle of construction acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration, with a primary focus on commercial and institutional building projects that sustain operational readiness. His work ensures that aging facilities are modernized and new construction aligns with Navy standards for durability, sustainability, and combat readiness, making him central to the agency’s infrastructure modernization strategy. Vaughan maintains consistent 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, Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in complex, high-stakes construction environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, stringent compliance with federal construction codes, and collaborative project delivery methods to ensure timely and quality execution across sensitive military installations. His procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 93.3% of acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, prioritizing small business contractors capable of delivering specialized construction services without reliance on large prime contractors. He consistently leverages small business set-asides to foster regional economic development and enhance competition within the defense construction sector. Vaughan’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing barracks, administrative facilities, training centers, and other mission-support structures. His technical expertise lies in managing design-build and traditional bid-build projects that require strict adherence to military construction standards, energy efficiency mandates, and environmental compliance protocols. He specializes in procuring integrated construction services that combine structural, mechanical, and electrical systems to support long-term operational sustainability.
