Tracey Stephens

Tracey Stephens serves as a key procurement lead within Navfacsyscom Washington, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing complex facility-related acquisitions, Stephens specializes in planning and executing contracts for construction, engineering, and landscaping services that enhance operational readiness and environmental resilience. Their work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in energy-efficient infrastructure, facility modernization, and mission-critical asset sustainment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense infrastructure standards. Stephens maintains strong, ongoing relationships with a core group of prime contractors including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., and BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, reflecting a preference for established, high-performing partners with proven expertise in naval facility projects. These vendor partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract awards, with a focus on firms capable of delivering integrated design-build and professional services across multiple installation sites. The working relationship patterns emphasize accountability, technical proficiency, and adherence to Navy facility standards. A pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Stephens’ procurement patterns, with 8(a) competed set-asides accounting for nearly 70% of awards, underscoring a deliberate strategy to foster minority-owned small business participation. Additional awards are structured under total small business set-asides per FAR 19.5, while no set-aside contracts remain minimal. This pattern reflects a robust dedication to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged businesses within the defense infrastructure sector. The primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), which dominates the portfolio, followed by 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services). This specialization indicates deep expertise in site development, grounds maintenance, and facility construction for military installations, with an emphasis on sustainable, mission-aligned infrastructure solutions.
