Sheena F. Hess

Sheena F. Hess serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Southwest (N62473), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the Department of the Navy’s infrastructure modernization mission. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, environmental remediation, and heavy civil engineering projects critical to sustaining naval installations across the Southwest region. Her acquisitions focus on ensuring operational readiness through resilient facility systems, utility upgrades, and compliance-driven environmental services, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities of aging infrastructure renewal and sustainable resource management. Sheena 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 vendors with proven expertise in military-grade construction and hazardous material remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative, mission-aligned relationships grounded in compliance and accountability. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 60% of contracts awarded under open competition and 40% designated for small business participation—equally split between 8(a) competed set-asides and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses while maintaining competitive rigor and mission effectiveness. Sheena’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 562910 (Remediation Services), each accounting for 40% of her portfolio, with an additional 20% in 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). She specializes in procuring complex, multi-disciplinary services including site development, hazardous waste remediation, utility infrastructure upgrades, and structural rehabilitation, requiring deep familiarity with DoD environmental standards, construction specifications, and federal construction codes.
