Marina Porter

Marina Porter serves as a secondary contracting professional within Navfacsyscom Far East, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain mission-critical infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific region. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in executing and administering acquisitions aligned with base operating support and environmental compliance priorities. Her work primarily involves the procurement of solid waste collection and disposal services essential to maintaining operational readiness at forward-deployed naval and Marine Corps installations. She collaborates closely with lead contracting teams to ensure contract compliance, performance monitoring, and adherence to environmental regulations governing waste management on military installations. Porter’s procurement activities are consistently executed in partnership with a core group of experienced contractors, including KANAGAWA NABCO PTY. LTD., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PAE DESIGN AND FACILITY MANAGEMENT, and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CORPORATION. These vendors are selected for their proven track records in delivering specialized waste handling, site remediation, and facility support services in austere and high-tempo operational environments. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established, performance-driven contractors with regional expertise in Pacific theater logistics and environmental stewardship. There is no use of socioeconomic set-asides in her procurement portfolio; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that emphasize rapid, scalable, and mission-critical service delivery over socioeconomic preferences, even as other parts of the organization pursue small business goals. Her primary focus is on NAICS 562111—Solid Waste Collection—encompassing the procurement of comprehensive waste management services including collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal. She specializes in contracts requiring strict environmental compliance, hazardous material handling protocols, and integration with installation-wide sustainability initiatives, demonstrating deep technical expertise in military environmental operations.
