Megra D Spells

Megra D. Spells serves as a Contract Specialist within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Atlantic (NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic), where she plays a pivotal role in executing facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining naval operations across the Atlantic region and overseas installations. Specializing in construction-related procurements, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts for facility modernization, including design-build and integrated project delivery methods, with a focus on mission-critical upgrades to naval bases, shipyards, and expeditionary facilities. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in power resilience, water infrastructure, and munitions storage modernization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Department of the Navy directives. Spells maintains established working relationships with a core group of qualified contractors, including MEB General Contractors Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Stantec-AECOM SIOP JV, M&N-BMCD LANT SIOP JV, and Cape-Aptim JV1, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and experienced firms capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary construction services under tight operational timelines. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and past performance in naval infrastructure projects. A steadfast advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Spells consistently structures solicitations as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions reserved for this category. This unwavering commitment ensures meaningful opportunities for veteran-owned firms and aligns with federal mandates to promote equitable access to defense contracting. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust pipeline of qualified SDVOSB contractors capable of meeting the Navy’s high standards for facility construction and maintenance. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 238150 (Glass and Glazing Contractors), where she procures specialized building envelope systems, fenestration, and high-performance glazing solutions integral to energy-efficient and secure naval facilities. This narrow but critical focus underscores her deep understanding of building science and the operational demands of military infrastructure, ensuring that every procurement supports durability, safety, and mission readiness.
