Mark Nava

Mark Nava serves as a Contract Administrator for the Department of the Air Force at FA5004 354 Cons Pk, where he manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical infrastructure and operational support systems. His role encompasses solicitation development, contract award administration, and post-award oversight for projects that sustain airfield readiness, facility integrity, and expeditionary logistics. Nava specializes in engineering services and industrial support contracts, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities of infrastructure resilience and rapid deployment capability. He works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into enforceable contractual requirements. Nava maintains a consistent working relationship with Combat Medical Systems LLC, a key vendor providing specialized equipment and support services for expeditionary environments. His contractor engagement pattern reflects a preference for established industry partners with proven performance in military-grade infrastructure and technical support, while also fostering relationships with small businesses that meet technical specifications for remote operations. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and mission alignment over volume, prioritizing long-term vendor performance over transactional exchanges. Nava’s contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 29% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, he actively leverages small business set-asides to cultivate a diverse supplier base capable of supporting austere, expeditionary missions. His pattern shows no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, indicating a focus on broad small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he oversees design, analysis, and technical support for facility modernization and airfield systems. He also procures industrial equipment under NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing) and specialized chemical products under NAICS 424690, reflecting a multidisciplinary technical domain spanning civil engineering, logistics support, and hazardous materials handling. His expertise centers on mission-enabling infrastructure with an emphasis on durability, rapid field deployment, and compliance with DoD environmental and safety standards.
