Susie A Conner

Susie A. Conner serves as a Contract Specialist within NAVFACSYSCOM Southeast (N69450), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and facility support acquisitions critical to naval readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—primarily focusing on commercial and institutional building construction projects. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Navy-specific standards. She routinely handles fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for new construction, renovations, and base operations support services. Conner maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced prime contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in delivering large-scale, mission-sensitive construction and facility services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and timely contract execution to meet aggressive operational timelines. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on unrestricted acquisitions, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. While she does not currently prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her focus remains on securing high-capacity contractors capable of meeting stringent technical and schedule requirements for mission-critical infrastructure. Conner’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for over 70% of her activity, with additional emphasis on industrial construction, heavy civil engineering, and real estate leasing. She specializes in procuring design-build, construction management at-risk, and traditional design-bid-build delivery methods for facilities supporting military housing, administrative complexes, and operational support infrastructure. Her domain expertise centers on integrated facility systems, utility upgrades, and compliance with DoD sustainability and resilience standards.
