Curtis K Ogawa

Curtis K. Ogawa serves as a Contracting Officer for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to naval operational readiness across the Hawaiian Islands. His portfolio encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—focusing on construction, engineering, and specialty trade services that sustain and modernize military installations. Ogawa ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with NAVFAC Hawaii’s strategic priorities in resilience, energy security, and infrastructure modernization. He maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in performance excellence and regulatory compliance. These vendors consistently deliver high-quality construction and engineering services under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts, reflecting Ogawa’s emphasis on risk mitigation and contractor accountability. His procurement approach prioritizes clear scope definition, rigorous technical evaluation, and consistent post-award oversight to ensure mission success. Ogawa demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 60% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base and enhance small business participation in defense infrastructure projects, while maintaining competitive integrity and value for the government. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), with additional activity in industrial, commercial, and institutional building construction. Ogawa’s technical expertise spans civil infrastructure, utility systems, and specialty trade contracting, enabling him to effectively evaluate complex technical proposals and manage high-stakes projects critical to naval base operations.
