Shari N Lillie

Shari N. Lillie serves as a Contracting Officer for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and facility services essential to naval operational readiness across the Hawaiian Islands. Her portfolio encompasses construction, maintenance, and technical support contracts aligned with the Department of the Navy’s strategic priorities in resilience, energy security, and facility modernization. She routinely handles complex, multi-year procurements under FAR Part 36 for construction and related services, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while delivering timely, high-quality outcomes for military installations. Lillie maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which consistently deliver on facility construction and support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering accountability and operational continuity. She engages with contractors across the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and closeout—ensuring alignment with NAVFAC Hawaii’s mission-driven objectives and technical standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on small business participation, with approximately 40% of her awards directed toward socioeconomic programs. She routinely utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides, 8(a) competed contracts, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, while also incorporating Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) opportunities. This balanced approach demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding access for underrepresented businesses without compromising mission requirements. Lillie’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). She specializes in acquiring integrated facility services, including structural construction, mechanical systems installation, and environmental testing, requiring deep technical expertise in military construction standards and sustainability practices. Her work ensures naval bases remain operationally viable, resilient, and compliant with federal environmental and energy mandates.
