Jessica Shimoda

Jessica Shimoda serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, supporting the delivery of mission-critical infrastructure and facility services for U.S. Navy operations across the Hawaiian Islands. She manages a portfolio of professional services acquisitions focused on architectural and engineering design, communications systems, and facility modernization projects. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring that naval installations meet stringent resilience, energy, and water security standards. Shimoda’s acquisitions are primarily governed by FAR Part 36 and involve complex, performance-based contract vehicles requiring technical oversight and lifecycle management of construction-related professional services. She maintains consistent working relationships with GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which are regularly engaged for design, planning, and systems integration services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in military facility design and naval infrastructure compliance. Shimoda’s procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in Navy-specific standards, including NEPA compliance, seismic retrofitting, and expeditionary facility design. Her contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to foster competition and capacity building among qualified local and national small firms. Shimoda’s primary NAICS focus is on Architectural Services (541310) and Engineering Services (541330), reflecting her core responsibility in overseeing facility design and infrastructure planning. She also procures specialized communications equipment under NAICS 334220, indicating expertise in integrating secure, military-grade radio and wireless systems into naval installations. Her technical domain centers on mission-critical facility modernization, with an emphasis on sustainable design, energy resilience, and interoperable communications infrastructure.
