Rachel Gerakas

Rachel Gerakas serves as a primary contracting professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific (NAVFAC PACIFIC), overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical facilities and infrastructure services across the Indo-Pacific region. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s mandate to design, construct, and sustain military installations—including airfields, utilities, communications networks, and combat training facilities—by managing complex professional services contracts that align with Navy and Marine Corps operational requirements. Her procurement activities focus on integrated engineering, technical advisory, and program management support, ensuring compliance with DoD standards and expeditionary readiness goals. Gerakas maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ACCIONA CMS PHILIPPINES LLC, AMENTUM MITIE PACIFIC LLC, CORE TECH-HDCC-KAJIMA LLC, JACOBS/B&M A JOINT VENTURE, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships are characterized by performance-based contract structures, often involving long-term service agreements and integrated project delivery models. She consistently engages firms with proven expertise in military construction, facilities sustainment, and expeditionary infrastructure, favoring contractors with regional experience and technical capacity to operate in austere environments. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This underscores a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic designations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, all procurements adhere to federal competition requirements and value-driven evaluation criteria. Gerakas specializes in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—procuring high-level engineering, environmental, logistics, and technical advisory services essential to military infrastructure lifecycle management. Her work spans facility condition assessments, geotechnical studies, energy resilience planning, and construction management support, requiring deep domain expertise in DoD construction codes, environmental compliance, and expeditionary engineering solutions.
