Jaime Kinimaka

Jaime Kinimaka serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SN Endist Honolulu, operating under the U.S. Army’s Department of the Army, where they oversee the acquisition of critical civil engineering and infrastructure construction services essential to sustaining military readiness across Hawaii. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction contracts, Kinimaka ensures alignment with Army garrison modernization priorities, including the development and rehabilitation of combat-support facilities, utilities, and base resilience systems. Their portfolio primarily consists of design-build and fixed-price contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure that supports troop training, housing, and operational continuity in a geographically isolated theater. Kinimaka maintains a consistent and strategic working relationship with CONTI FEDERAL SERVICES, LLC, a trusted contractor with demonstrated expertise in complex military construction projects. Their procurement approach favors long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors who exhibit proven capability in delivering high-quality, timely construction outcomes under challenging environmental and logistical conditions. These relationships are built on reliability, compliance with military construction standards, and adherence to rigorous quality assurance protocols. Kinimaka demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of their construction acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate local and national small business capacity, ensuring equitable access to federal construction opportunities while strengthening the regional defense industrial base. All awards are structured to maximize participation from small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, SDB, and other socioeconomic programs. Their procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new builds, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for barracks, administrative facilities, training centers, and utility systems. Kinimaka’s technical expertise lies in managing complex construction projects requiring coordination with environmental compliance, seismic resilience standards, and military-specific building codes, ensuring all deliverables meet Army Corps of Engineers and installation-specific requirements.
