Teshima Mason

Teshima Mason serves as a key procurement lead within Navfacsyscom Washington, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Pacific Northwest military installations. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction-related acquisitions, Mason specializes in commercial and institutional building projects that enhance operational readiness through modernized facilities, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable design. Their work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in facility sustainment, resilience, and environmental compliance, ensuring that construction contracts align with federal standards and naval operational needs. Mason maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., and BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, all of whom provide integrated design-build, engineering, and construction services. These relationships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in federal facility projects, particularly those capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary construction solutions under stringent military standards. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance, and long-term value over transactional vendor relationships. A defining feature of Mason’s procurement strategy is a 100% commitment to Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that all construction contracts are reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained focus on socioeconomic equity, empowering small firms to compete for high-impact naval infrastructure projects without competition from large businesses. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a broader institutional commitment to fostering contractor diversity and capacity building within the federal construction sector. Mason’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new builds, renovations, and modernizations of administrative, operational, and support facilities. Their technical expertise lies in managing procurements for structures requiring compliance with UFC standards, energy conservation mandates, and seismic resilience requirements, ensuring that all constructed assets meet the Navy’s long-term operational and environmental objectives.
