Roya Sterner

Roya Sterner serves as a Contract Specialist at NAVFAC SYSCOM Washington (N40080), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical facility acquisition programs for the Department of the Navy. Responsible for full lifecycle contract management, she specializes in the solicitation, negotiation, and administration of environmental remediation services essential to sustaining naval infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities of environmental compliance, infrastructure resilience, and operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of hazardous material abatement, soil and groundwater remediation, and contaminated site restoration services. Sterner maintains established working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, and Indian Township Sanchez Group, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven technical expertise in environmental engineering and remediation execution. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with federal environmental regulations, and consistent contractor accountability through robust contract administration and quality assurance protocols. Notably, Sterner’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission urgency and technical specificity, where only a limited pool of qualified vendors possesses the necessary certifications, equipment, and regulatory experience to perform complex remediation tasks. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through socioeconomic set-asides, her contracting decisions prioritize capability over socioeconomic status. Her primary focus is NAICS 562910—Remediation Services—where she procures specialized environmental cleanup, containment, and restoration solutions for military installations. Her technical domain expertise centers on hazardous waste management, asbestos and lead abatement, and federal environmental compliance frameworks such as CERCLA and RCRA, ensuring that all acquisitions meet stringent DoD and EPA standards.
