Reginald Coney

Reginald Coney serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Southeast, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex construction and facilities support acquisitions for the Department of the Navy. He plays a critical role in executing mission-critical infrastructure projects across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering resilient, mission-ready facilities. His portfolio primarily includes commercial and institutional building construction, engineering services, and base operations support contracts, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS provisions, performance-based acquisition methods, and contract administration for high-stakes federal projects. Coney maintains established working relationships with a core group of trusted contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-performing firms with proven track records in naval infrastructure delivery. His contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in compliance and consistent delivery outcomes. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Coney consistently allocates approximately 25% of his contract opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. He does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead prioritizing broad small business eligibility to maximize competition within the construction and professional services sectors. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for half of his activity, followed by NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services). He specializes in procuring design-build, construction management, and integrated facilities maintenance services, requiring technical expertise in building systems, utility infrastructure, and operational readiness support for naval installations.
