Weldon Shaffer

Weldon Shaffer serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom 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 a portfolio of construction and facility modernization contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing operational readiness through timely delivery of high-performance facilities. His acquisitions primarily focus on commercial and institutional building construction, with frequent emphasis on infrastructure sustainment, energy resilience, and environmental compliance initiatives aligned with DoD sustainability goals. Shaffer maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced 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 naval construction projects, including site development, structural upgrades, and specialized roofing systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term contractor reliability over short-term cost savings. A strong advocate for small business participation, Shaffer consistently structures procurements to maximize socioeconomic opportunities, with over 70% of his contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and nearly 30% designated for HUBZone-certified firms. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster regional economic development while expanding the pool of qualified contractors capable of meeting Navy facility standards. His contracting decisions reflect a balanced commitment to both mission requirements and statutory small business goals. His technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where he oversees the full lifecycle of facility projects—from design-build delivery to renovation and maintenance. He also frequently procures specialized roofing services under NAICS 238160, reflecting the agency’s priority on weatherproofing and long-term asset durability. Shaffer’s expertise lies in integrating building science, code compliance, and lifecycle cost analysis into acquisition planning for mission-critical naval infrastructure.
