Leslie MCGEHEE

Leslie McGehee 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. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions, McGehee oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for facility modernization, base sustainment, and utility system upgrades. Their work ensures operational readiness through timely delivery of compliant, high-performance infrastructure, aligning with federal acquisition regulations and Navy-specific construction standards. McGehee maintains consistent working relationships with established prime 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 experienced firms capable of executing large-scale commercial, institutional, and transportation construction projects under stringent military specifications. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, design-build delivery methods, and integrated project delivery models to enhance efficiency and accountability. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted as open competitions, McGehee demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of contracts set aside for Total Small Business under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition among qualified small entities, without reliance on specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone. The procurement portfolio is evenly distributed across three core NAICS categories: 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 541330 (Engineering Services). This balance underscores expertise in integrated infrastructure development, encompassing structural construction, civil works, and technical engineering support for military installations.
