Regenia D. Guest

Regenia D. Guest serves as a secondary procurement professional 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. While not the primary contracting officer, Guest plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, contract administration, and vendor coordination for construction and facilities support services. Their work ensures alignment with federal procurement regulations and agency priorities, particularly in the execution of complex, multi-year infrastructure modernization initiatives. Guest typically handles acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for commercial and institutional construction, site preparation, and facilities maintenance services, often coordinating with primary contracting officers to streamline award processes and ensure compliance. Guest 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 proven track records in military infrastructure projects, particularly those capable of delivering integrated construction, environmental remediation, and utility upgrades under stringent DoD standards. The working relationships are characterized by collaborative pre-solicitation engagement, rigorous performance monitoring, and a focus on quality assurance in high-stakes operational environments. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Guest’s socioeconomic contracting patterns, with 83.9% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, including 8(a) firms, while maintaining competitive rigor. The limited use of 8(a) competed set-asides (3.2%) and minimal no-set-aside awards underscore a consistent emphasis on fostering small business growth within the defense construction ecosystem. Guest’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors), with significant activity in facilities support services (561210), pest control (561710), and testing laboratories (541380). Their procurement focus supports the modernization of aging military installations, emphasizing structural integrity, environmental compliance, and operational readiness through integrated construction and maintenance services.
