Shayna Herbst serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver and sustain mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. She specializes in managing construction-related acquisitions, with a primary focus on specialty trade contracting services essential to facility modernization and base readiness. Her work ensures that infrastructure projects—ranging from structural renovations to utility upgrades—are executed in alignment with federal construction standards and operational requirements, directly contributing to the resilience and combat readiness of naval installations. Herbst maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in complex, regulated construction environments and a demonstrated capacity to deliver high-quality, code-compliant work under stringent military standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contractor vetting, and long-term collaboration with vendors who align with the agency’s safety, quality, and sustainability objectives. Herbst’s contracting portfolio is entirely composed of 8(a) competed set-asides, reflecting a robust and intentional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. By directing all eligible acquisitions to 8(a) certified small businesses, she actively fosters the growth of disadvantaged entrepreneurs while ensuring access to capable, qualified contractors who meet the technical demands of naval infrastructure projects. This pattern underscores a strategic alignment with federal small business policy and a dedication to equitable opportunity in defense contracting. Her procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 238320—Painting and Wall Covering Contractors—indicating deep specialization in protective coatings, interior/exterior finish systems, and corrosion-resistant surface treatments critical to facility longevity and environmental compliance. Her expertise lies in managing specialized trades that support structural preservation, hazardous material abatement, and aesthetic standardization across military installations, ensuring both functional durability and regulatory adherence.
