Patti Borja

Patti Borja serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. She manages the full lifecycle of construction and civil works acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR and DOD regulatory frameworks. Her portfolio centers on complex, mission-essential projects involving facility modernization, utilities upgrades, and base sustainment, requiring precise contract administration, risk mitigation, and stakeholder coordination across engineering, environmental, and operational teams. Borja 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 firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, marine infrastructure, and base utilities systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear technical specifications, and rigorous contractor performance evaluation to ensure delivery of high-quality, durable infrastructure aligned with naval operational requirements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Borja consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 80% of her acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to foster competition, enhance local economic resilience, and meet federal small business utilization goals. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to inclusive procurement, regularly leveraging small business set-asides without reliance on large business prime contractors for these categories. Her technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), with significant activity in 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 238110 (Poured Concrete Foundation Contractors). She specializes in procuring infrastructure systems critical to base readiness—including electrical distribution, HVAC, water/wastewater utilities, and reinforced concrete structures—requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards and DoD facility design criteria.
