Robert Treves

Robert Treves serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Northwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, environmental, and utility-related acquisitions, with a focus on shipyard modernization, facility maintenance, and environmental compliance projects. His work directly enables naval readiness by ensuring that base infrastructure meets operational and regulatory standards. Treves routinely handles complex contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, coordinating with engineers and program managers to align procurement strategy with long-term infrastructure goals. Treves maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including Contrack Watts Inc., Absher Construction Co., and Environmental Assessment Services, LLC, who provide specialized expertise in heavy construction, environmental remediation, and facility upgrades. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in naval and defense-related environments, particularly those experienced in hazardous material handling, marine construction, and crane system integration. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and compliance with DoD safety and environmental mandates. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he consistently allocates 20% of opportunities to HUBZone-certified firms, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to geographic economic development in underserved communities. While he does not prioritize 8(a) or SDVOSB set-asides, his use of HUBZone reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting that supports both mission needs and federal small business goals. Treves’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 333923 (Overhead Traveling Crane and Hoist Manufacturing), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). He procures services and equipment critical to naval base operations, including waste management systems, heavy-duty crane installations for shipyard maintenance, and construction of administrative and support facilities. His technical expertise spans environmental compliance, industrial infrastructure, and facility sustainment within constrained military environments.
