Shari Lillie

Shari Lillie serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver mission-critical infrastructure and facility services across the Hawaiian Islands. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building construction projects essential to sustaining naval operational readiness, including new construction, renovations, and facility modernization efforts. Her work directly enables the Navy’s strategic priorities in resilience, energy security, and infrastructure sustainability by ensuring timely and compliant delivery of construction services through competitive contracting processes. Lillie maintains consistent procurement relationships with two primary contractors—GMB Inc. and Kapule LLC—both of which have demonstrated sustained performance in delivering complex facility projects under NAVFAC Hawaii’s stringent standards. These partnerships reflect a pattern of repeat engagement with experienced local and regional construction firms capable of executing high-quality work in geographically and environmentally sensitive areas. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to federal construction codes and Navy-specific facility requirements. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with equal distribution among no set-aside, Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and 8(a) competed awards. This approach ensures broad competition while actively fostering opportunities for disadvantaged and minority-owned businesses in the construction sector. Lillie consistently leverages the 8(a) program to develop small business capacity and promote long-term vendor growth within the defense construction ecosystem. Her primary focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she procures services ranging from site preparation and structural framing to HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems for military barracks, administrative buildings, and training facilities. Her technical expertise lies in managing integrated design-build and traditional construction delivery methods, ensuring compliance with Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and Navy Environmental Compliance requirements.
