Carol A Tanaka

Carol A. Tanaka serves as a Contract Specialist/Officer within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific (NAVFAC PACIFIC), responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure contracts supporting U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operations across the Indo-Pacific region. She executes complex procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while delivering mission-critical facilities including combat training sites, aircraft ramp systems, and utilities infrastructure. Her acquisitions primarily involve design-build and construction management services, requiring close coordination with engineers, project managers, and environmental specialists to align contractual deliverables with operational readiness goals. Tanaka maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ACCIONA CMS PHILIPPINES LLC, AMENTUM MITIE PACIFIC LLC, CORE TECH-HDCC-KAJIMA LLC, JACOBS/B&M A JOINT VENTURE, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, regionally embedded firms capable of executing large-scale commercial and institutional construction in austere and remote environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated project delivery models, and rigorous subcontracting oversight to ensure quality, schedule adherence, and safety compliance. A defining feature of Tanaka’s procurement strategy is her exclusive use of HUBZone set-asides, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to economic development in historically underutilized business zones. Every contract she manages is reserved for HUBZone-certified small businesses, reinforcing NAVFAC PACIFIC’s mission to drive equitable opportunity while leveraging local workforce capabilities in underserved communities across the Pacific. Her technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, renovations, and facility sustainment projects for military installations. She specializes in procuring turnkey construction services involving structural, mechanical, electrical, and civil infrastructure systems, requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards, seismic resilience requirements, and sustainable design protocols.
