Ray Hinman

Ray Hinman serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the Department of the Navy’s infrastructure modernization mission. He manages the full lifecycle of construction acquisitions, from solicitation and source selection to contract administration, ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Navy-specific procurement policies. His portfolio is exclusively focused on commercial and institutional building construction under NAICS 236220, supporting the design, construction, and renovation of mission-critical facilities for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. Hinman’s work directly enables operational readiness by delivering resilient, sustainment-ready infrastructure that meets stringent military standards. Hinman maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of experienced construction 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 complex federal construction projects, including site development, utility upgrades, and facility modernization. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and collaborative contract management to ensure timely, quality delivery under demanding operational timelines. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Hinman consistently allocates 25% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but his small business awards are strategically targeted to ensure competitive, capable vendors are integrated into the construction supply chain. Hinman’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220, encompassing the construction of barracks, administrative buildings, training facilities, and support infrastructure. His acquisitions require deep familiarity with military construction standards, building codes, and sustainability requirements, reflecting a specialized focus on mission-critical, high-performance facility delivery.
