Rebekah Stranges

Rebekah Stranges serves as a key procurement lead within Naval Facilities Systems Command Hawaii (NAVFACSYSCOM Hawaii), responsible for managing mission-critical infrastructure acquisitions that sustain naval operations across the Hawaiian Islands. She oversees the full lifecycle of construction and facility support contracts, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities of operational readiness, energy resilience, and infrastructure modernization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering, construction, and utility systems procurement, with a focus on delivering high-reliability facilities that support naval readiness and environmental compliance. Stranges works closely with project engineers and program managers to translate mission needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring technical accuracy and regulatory adherence in all acquisition actions. She maintains strong, consistent relationships with primary contractors GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which are frequently awarded for their demonstrated expertise in complex public works projects. These partnerships reflect a pattern of re-engagement based on performance, technical capability, and reliability in delivering mission-critical infrastructure under demanding operational conditions. Stranges prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, favoring contractors with proven track records in Navy-specific construction standards and environmental stewardship. Stranges’ procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and value rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with NAVFAC’s mission-critical infrastructure needs that often require specialized expertise not readily available among small business pools. Her primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 221320 for sewage treatment and wastewater infrastructure, 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, and 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction. These reflect a deep specialization in public works, utility systems, and transportation infrastructure essential to maintaining naval base operational continuity across Hawaii’s geographically dispersed installations.
