Erik Miyashiro

Erik Miyashiro serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. He oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, secure communications infrastructure, and advanced sensor technologies essential to maintaining operational readiness. His portfolio emphasizes engineering services and electronic assembly systems that directly support fleet modernization and cybersecurity resilience across naval platforms, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic imperatives for next-generation air and electronic combat capabilities. Miyashiro maintains strategic partnerships with leading defense contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, engaging them on complex, high-integrity contracts for specialized avionics and integrated warfare systems. His contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration with industry leaders capable of delivering ruggedized, classified, and ITAR-compliant hardware and software solutions. He frequently works with contractors possessing DOD clearance levels and proven track records in rapid prototyping and sustainment of legacy aircraft systems. A defining feature of Miyashiro’s contracting strategy is an overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with 87.5% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to leverage innovative capabilities from small, agile firms across diverse socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB entities, ensuring broad industrial base resilience and technology infusion from non-traditional defense suppliers. Despite the agency’s advanced technical mission, Miyashiro’s NAICS focus reveals an unusual concentration in non-defense sectors—particularly Industrial Launderers (812332), Appliance Repair (811412), and Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing (337211)—suggesting a possible misclassification or administrative procurement activity unrelated to core missions. His technical expertise, however, remains firmly rooted in aerospace, electronic warfare, and secure communications systems, where he ensures procurement integrity and mission alignment.
