Shelby Yancey

Shelby Yancey serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction-related acquisitions, Yancey specializes in planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for facility modernization, utilities upgrades, and base sustainment projects. Their work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring that infrastructure meets stringent DoD standards for safety, durability, and environmental compliance, with a primary focus on mechanical systems integration and building services. Yancey maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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 established firms with proven expertise in complex naval construction environments, particularly those capable of executing integrated plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems under tight operational timelines and security protocols. Collaborations are characterized by high contract compliance, performance-based delivery, and a shared commitment to quality assurance in mission-critical environments. Yancey demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of their acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic emphasis on fostering economic opportunity within the defense supply chain and maximizing the capabilities of qualified small contractors in the construction services sector. No other socioeconomic categories are utilized, underscoring a deliberate and consistent focus on small business development as a core component of procurement strategy. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—indicating deep technical specialization in HVAC, mechanical piping, refrigeration, and building services systems. Yancey’s portfolio centers on the design-build and renovation of mission-critical utility infrastructure, requiring expertise in ASHRAE standards, Navy Facility Engineering Command (NFEC) specifications, and energy-efficient retrofitting for aging installations.
