Lindsay Betteridge

Lindsay Betteridge serves as a secondary procurement liaison within Navfacsyscom Southeast, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. While not the primary contracting officer, Betteridge plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, contract administration, and stakeholder coordination for construction and facility support contracts. Their work ensures alignment with strategic naval readiness goals, particularly in the delivery of commercial and institutional buildings, utilities, and base operations services. Betteridge routinely engages with prime contractors during the solicitation, evaluation, and post-award phases, contributing to the efficient execution of complex federal construction projects under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Betteridge maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced federal construction contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established prime contractors with proven track records in delivering large-scale, mission-sensitive facilities and infrastructure. The working relationship pattern is characterized by collaborative pre-solicitation engagement, rigorous performance monitoring, and adherence to federal construction standards, ensuring compliance with safety, sustainability, and readiness requirements. Set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward unrestricted competitions, with 93.8% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a prioritization of full and open competition to ensure technical excellence and schedule reliability. Only 6.3% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but limited commitment to small business participation, typically reserved for niche or less complex scopes where small firm capacity aligns with project needs. The primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 75% of activity, with additional emphasis on highway and bridge construction (237310) and power/communication line infrastructure (237130). Betteridge’s expertise centers on the acquisition of design-build, construction-manager-at-risk, and traditional design-bid-build delivery methods for military and government facilities, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal construction standards, environmental compliance, and facility lifecycle management.
