Stephen Astwood

Stephen Astwood serves as a key procurement professional within 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. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering acquisitions, focusing on the planning, design, and execution of facilities and utilities essential to operational readiness. His work spans the full lifecycle of base modernization projects, from initial requirements development through contract award and performance oversight, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval engineering standards. Astwood maintains strong, recurring relationships with established 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 experienced, full-service firms capable of delivering complex civil works, institutional building construction, and utility infrastructure projects under tight operational timelines. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated design-build delivery, and rigorous quality assurance protocols. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions, Astwood consistently allocates approximately 27.3% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. He actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand contractor diversity without compromising project complexity or mission requirements. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by 541330 (Engineering Services) and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction). He specializes in acquiring design-build services, structural upgrades, stormwater management systems, and utility relocations critical to sustaining combat-ready bases and modernizing aging infrastructure across naval installations.
