Laura M. Chapman

Laura M. Chapman serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical infrastructure projects across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. She plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize aging facilities, sustain combat-ready bases, and ensure environmental compliance. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, utilities, and facility maintenance contracts, with a focus on ensuring timely, compliant, and mission-critical delivery of services under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Chapman works closely with project engineers and program managers to align contracting strategies with operational readiness goals. Chapman 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, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in complex federal construction and infrastructure maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and collaboration with prime contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in delivering mission-critical facilities and utilities. Chapman exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 44.4% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside preferences are designated for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and broaden contractor diversity within the federal construction and maintenance sector. Her procurement focus is concentrated in key NAICS categories, including Solid Waste Collection (562111), Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (238220), and Roofing Contractors (238160), reflecting the agency’s emphasis on facility sustainment and environmental services. She also regularly procures commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310) and rail support services (488210), demonstrating broad technical expertise across civil works, utilities, and infrastructure maintenance domains.
