Richard J. Spagnuolo

Richard J. Spagnuolo serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Southwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient infrastructure across the Southwest region. He manages the full lifecycle of construction and environmental remediation contracts, ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Navy-specific procurement policies. His portfolio centers on facility modernization, utility system upgrades, and environmental compliance projects critical to naval installation readiness. Spagnuolo works closely with program managers and engineers to translate technical requirements into solicitation documents, evaluate proposals, and administer performance-based contracts with rigorous oversight. He maintains established working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in commercial construction, HVAC systems, and hazardous material remediation. Spagnuolo fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, emphasizing quality control, schedule adherence, and regulatory compliance in all contract actions. His contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with approximately two-thirds of acquisitions conducted as no set-aside actions, while one-third are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced strategy supports broad market participation while ensuring robust competition from qualified small businesses, particularly those with niche expertise in infrastructure and environmental services. Spagnuolo’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting his specialization in mechanical systems installation, energy-efficient retrofits, and soil/water remediation. He routinely procures complex, performance-based solutions requiring technical proficiency in HVAC design, asbestos abatement, and underground utility upgrades, demonstrating deep domain expertise in mission-critical facility sustainment.
