Maurice Muse

Maurice Muse serves as a secondary contracting professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic), supporting the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure projects for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. While not the primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction contracts aligned with the agency’s mandate to modernize aging facilities and sustain combat-ready bases. His responsibilities include coordinating contract actions for commercial and institutional building construction, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and supporting the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for projects that enhance operational readiness and environmental resilience. Muse 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, regionally rooted firms with proven expertise in complex facility construction, site development, and integrated design-build delivery. His collaborative approach fosters long-term vendor engagement, emphasizing performance reliability and technical proficiency in high-stakes military construction environments. All acquisitions under his support are fully set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. There is no use of large business set-asides or unrestricted competitions; every solicitation is structured to maximize opportunities for small business contractors, ensuring broad participation across the small business ecosystem without preference for specific certifications like 8(a) or HUBZone, but rather through total small business set-asides. His procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new construction, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for administrative, logistical, and operational facilities. This specialization demands deep familiarity with military construction standards, building codes, and integrated systems design, positioning him as a subject matter expert in delivering mission-aligned built environments.
