Jodie Onaga-Nuttall

Jodie Onaga-Nuttall serves as a Contract Specialist at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, where she plays a critical role in executing complex ship repair and maintenance acquisitions for the U.S. Navy’s fleet sustainment mission. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions under FAR and DFARS, ensuring compliance with naval industrial base requirements and mission-critical readiness standards. Her portfolio centers on technical procurement for mechanical overhauls, propulsion system refurbishment, and shipyard infrastructure upgrades, all aligned with the Navy’s strategic imperative to maintain operational availability of combatant vessels through precision industrial support. Jodie maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT CORP, XLEAGLE LLC, FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, and PHILIP RIEKE. These contractors provide specialized engineering services, marine equipment, and mission-critical components essential to shipyard modernization efforts. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment with naval specifications, and performance-based outcomes, fostering reliable supply chain partnerships critical to sustaining nuclear and conventional fleet readiness. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-aside designation, while 33.3% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures access to specialized capabilities while actively supporting small business participation in the naval industrial base. She consistently prioritizes small businesses capable of delivering complex mechanical and electrical systems, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting without compromising technical rigor. Jodie’s expertise is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611 — Ship Building and Repairing — encompassing the procurement of heavy machinery, hull structural components, electrical systems, and integrated repair services. Her acquisitions demand deep technical knowledge of naval vessel architecture, corrosion control, and shipyard fabrication standards, making her a key steward of the Navy’s industrial infrastructure modernization strategy.
