Shane Mahelona

Shane Mahelona serves as a Contracting Officer for Navfacsyscom Southwest, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure acquisitions in support of Department of the Navy installations across the Southwest region. He plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical contracts that ensure operational readiness through the construction, renovation, and modernization of military facilities. His portfolio encompasses complex, multi-disciplinary procurements involving civil works, utility systems, and facility upgrades, requiring rigorous compliance with federal construction standards and environmental regulations. Mahelona’s expertise lies in delivering resilient, sustainable infrastructure through competitive contracting processes aligned with DoD and NAVFAC strategic priorities. Mahelona maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 firms with proven capabilities in heavy civil construction, environmental remediation, and electrical systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and operational reliability in high-stakes military environments. Mahelona’s procurement patterns show a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible pool of qualified contractors to meet complex infrastructure demands, rather than targeting socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally mandated in his portfolio, he ensures fair and transparent competition that allows all eligible firms—regardless of size or certification—to compete on technical merit and past performance. His primary acquisition focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in facility construction, electrical system installation, and large-scale civil infrastructure. He routinely procures services related to structural upgrades, utility modernization, and environmental compliance projects, requiring precise adherence to military construction specifications and federal building codes.
