Nikki Kirtsey serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic, responsible for managing construction and infrastructure acquisition programs critical to Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. She oversees the planning, design, and execution of facility modernization projects across the Mid-Atlantic region, with a primary focus on residential remodeling and base sustainment initiatives. Her work ensures that aging military housing and support infrastructure meet current operational, safety, and environmental standards, directly supporting the Navy’s mission to maintain combat-ready installations. Kirtsey specializes in full-cycle contracting for design-build and renovation projects, utilizing FAR Part 36 construction authorities and performance-based acquisition methods. She 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 firms with demonstrated expertise in military housing renovations, utility upgrades, and site development under strict DoD compliance protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaborative project delivery, rigorous performance metrics, and adherence to military construction specifications.

Her primary focus lies in NAICS 236118 (Residential Remodelers), where she procures services related to housing rehabilitation, HVAC modernization, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and accessibility improvements under MIL-STD and UFC standards. Her technical expertise centers on military family housing infrastructure, with deep familiarity in retrofitting legacy facilities to meet current energy efficiency, ADA, and sustainability requirements.
