Veronica D Squires

Veronica D. Squires serves as Lead Contract Specialist for NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions for Navy and Marine Corps infrastructure projects across the Mid-Atlantic region. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction, maintenance, and support service contracts, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s objective of sustaining combat-ready installations. Her portfolio encompasses complex, high-stakes acquisitions involving facility modernization, utilities upgrades, and environmental remediation, requiring deep expertise in cost analysis, source selection, and contract administration under FAR Part 36 and Part 19. She maintains strong, enduring relationships with a core group of contractors including Ryan Construction Co. Inc., Weeks-Cashman JV, Appledore Marine - CH2M JV, W.M. Jordan Company, Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of delivering integrated construction, marine, and site development services under stringent military standards. Her collaborative approach fosters accountability and performance-driven outcomes, often involving joint pre-solicitation outreach and contractor coordination to align technical requirements with operational needs. Veronica demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 72% of her awards structured as small business set-asides—primarily Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts, supplemented by HUBZone set-asides. This pattern underscores her proactive alignment with Department of Defense and FAR Part 19 goals to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and underserved businesses while maintaining competitive integrity. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), and 561730 (Landscaping Services), reflecting expertise in niche construction trades, facility maintenance, and environmental support services. She regularly sources specialized capabilities in nonhazardous waste disposal and broader support services, ensuring installations remain operationally resilient and environmentally compliant.
