Micah Nazarino

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 the acquisition of electric power distribution systems and related utilities, Nazarino ensures that naval installations maintain uninterrupted operational readiness through reliable energy infrastructure. Their work directly enables shipyard modernization, environmental compliance, and energy resilience initiatives, with a focus on complex, high-stakes construction and utility upgrades that align with Navy-wide sustainability and security standards. Nazarino maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Contrack Watts Inc., Absher Construction Co., and Environmental Assessment Services, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in electrical distribution, facility modernization, and environmental remediation within federal defense environments. The working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment, and a focus on performance-based outcomes rather than transactional procurement, ensuring compliance with stringent Navy engineering and safety protocols. There is no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for immediate, high-reliability delivery of power infrastructure. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors must still meet rigorous qualification standards to compete. Nazarino’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 221122—Electric Power Distribution—encompassing the design, installation, and upgrade of substations, switchgear, transformers, and distribution networks supporting naval bases and shipyards. Their technical domain expertise lies in grid modernization, redundancy planning, and integration of renewable energy systems into legacy military infrastructure, ensuring compliance with DoD energy security directives.
