Hiromi Kurita

Hiromi Kurita serves as the primary contracting representative for Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical ship repair and maintenance services to sustain U.S. Navy combat readiness in the Indo-Pacific region. With full authority over procurement actions, Kurita ensures timely execution of contracts aligned with the center’s mission to preserve and restore naval platforms through dry-dock repairs, component overhauls, and lifecycle support. Their portfolio is exclusively focused on shipbuilding and repair acquisitions, requiring deep technical understanding of naval architecture, marine systems integration, and shipyard infrastructure requirements. Kurita plays a pivotal role in translating operational readiness needs into enforceable contractual obligations that meet stringent DoD standards for quality, safety, and schedule compliance. Kurita maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in naval maintenance and maritime logistics, including ICAN Resources Inc., Singularity Security Group LLC, Docomo Pacific, Inc., Tawakkull LLC, and East West Rental Center. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements centered on shipyard support, equipment leasing, security services, and technical logistics. The working relationship pattern reflects a preference for vendors with proven expertise in forward-deployed naval environments and demonstrated capacity to operate under austere conditions in the Western Pacific. Kurita’s procurement activity reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs; all acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified maritime industrial providers. The sole NAICS code focus is 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), indicating exclusive specialization in the procurement of dry-dock services, hull and machinery repairs, propulsion system overhauls, and naval vessel preservation. Kurita’s technical expertise lies in managing complex, mission-critical contracts that require compliance with Naval Sea Systems Command standards and adherence to the Navy’s Ship Maintenance and Availability Program.
