Victor Gargano

Victor Gargano serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) 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 the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional construction projects, ensuring alignment with federal construction standards and operational readiness requirements. His portfolio centers on the planning, design, and construction of facilities that sustain combat-ready bases, modernize aging infrastructure, and enhance environmental compliance. Gargano’s work directly enables mission continuity through timely delivery of high-quality, code-compliant facilities that meet stringent DoD performance benchmarks. He maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of experienced construction 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 established firms with proven expertise in complex military construction, facility modernization, and site development. Gargano’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance, and consistent delivery timelines, fostering collaborative, trust-based relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and operational reliability. Gargano’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified, large-capacity contractors capable of executing high-complexity, mission-critical construction projects without socioeconomic restrictions. While small business participation is not a primary driver in his portfolio, his acquisitions remain fully compliant with FAR and DoD procurement policies. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for administrative, operational, and support facilities. He specializes in procuring integrated design-build and construction-manager-at-risk services, with technical expertise in facility systems integration, sustainable building practices, and defense-specific construction standards.
