Sarah L. DePeri serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Southeast, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, facilities, and support service acquisitions, with a primary focus on commercial and institutional building projects, utilities, and base operations support. Her work ensures naval readiness through timely, compliant contract execution under FAR and DFARS guidelines, often coordinating with engineering, environmental, and logistics teams to align procurement outcomes with operational requirements. DePeri maintains established working relationships with leading federal 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, full-service firms capable of delivering complex construction, site development, and aviation support services under tight operational timelines. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining rigorous oversight. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 70% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a consistent 30% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.
