Hye Ok Yi

Hye Ok Yi serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0411 AQ HQ Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization acquisitions across U.S. Army garrisons, including overseas installations such as USAG Humphreys and USFK. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, focusing on construction, maintenance, and utility support services critical to operational readiness. Her portfolio primarily includes competitively solicited, non-set-aside contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and performance-based management to ensure mission-critical facility integrity. Yi maintains consistent procurement relationships with a core group of established contractors, including GLOBAL SYSTEMIZED INDUSTRY, 09CLEAN CO., LTD, KOREA CONTAINER POOL CO., LTD, NOKHWACHANGJO, and GLOBAL COMPANY ALLIANCE CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, internationally capable vendors with demonstrated capacity in military-grade construction, facility maintenance, and logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance accountability, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement mechanisms to accommodate dynamic operational requirements. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 98.4% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven prioritization of capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is limited to 1.6% of awards, primarily under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), her contracting strategy remains focused on achieving optimal value through broad-based competition among qualified vendors. Yi’s procurement expertise centers on NAICS codes 236220 and 236210, corresponding to commercial and industrial building construction, with additional emphasis on appliance repair and maintenance (811412), power and communication infrastructure (237130), and oil and gas support activities (213112). She specializes in acquiring integrated facility services that sustain military infrastructure resilience, including HVAC, electrical systems, structural upgrades, and utility network maintenance, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with DoD facility standards and installation-specific operational demands.
