Micah Nazarino serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Northwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing acquisition strategies for facility sustainment and modernization projects, Nazarino oversees contracts related to security services, mechanical systems, and architectural design—ensuring alignment with naval readiness goals and environmental compliance standards. Their work directly enables the agency’s focus on shipyard upgrades, energy infrastructure, and utility modernization through disciplined application of federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting methods. Nazarino maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Contrack Watts Inc., Absher Construction Co., and Environmental Assessment Services, LLC, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in naval facility support. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based delivery models, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and technical proficiency in high-stakes environments. The procurement approach prioritizes contractors with demonstrated experience in federal defense infrastructure, particularly those capable of integrating environmental remediation with construction activities. A balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting is evident, with approximately half of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open competition. This reflects a strategic commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising operational needs, aligning with Department of Defense mandates for equitable access and capability development among qualified vendors. The primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 541310 (Architectural Services). These categories underscore expertise in securing physical infrastructure, maintaining mission-critical mechanical systems, and ensuring compliance with naval facility design standards. Nazarino’s technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of facility operations, environmental stewardship, and defense construction, ensuring acquisitions directly support naval force readiness and long-term infrastructure resilience.
