Melinda Simmons-Healy

Melinda Simmons-Healy serves as a Contract Specialist within NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic (N62470), a critical component of the Department of the Navy responsible for delivering infrastructure and facility services to sustain naval operations across the Atlantic region and overseas installations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for technical and facilities support services, ensuring alignment with DoD mission priorities such as power and water resiliency, munitions infrastructure modernization, and expeditionary facility readiness. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms, with a focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. Simmons-Healy maintains longstanding working relationships with key 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 are characterized by sustained performance on multi-year, task-order-based contracts for integrated design, construction, and operational support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical evaluation rigor, and collaborative contract administration to ensure mission continuity and infrastructure reliability across high-priority naval installations. Her contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for open competition with no set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures competitive fairness and selection based on technical merit and past performance. Her primary NAICS focus is on 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), accounting for half of her portfolio, followed by 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 561621 (Security Systems Services). She routinely procures engineering consulting, facility operations support, and integrated security systems—including physical security, access control, and surveillance technologies—demonstrating deep expertise in technical services that directly enable naval base resilience and operational security.
