Julie Shimoda

Julie 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 across the Hawaiian Islands. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on sustaining and modernizing naval installations, with an emphasis on environmental services, facility operations, and construction support. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring reliable utilities, waste management, and site maintenance capabilities essential to Navy and Marine Corps missions. Shimoda handles a mix of competitive and set-aside contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing timely execution and regulatory compliance in a geographically isolated operational environment. She maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which provide specialized services in waste handling, landscaping, and facility support. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated capacity to deliver integrated, on-island solutions under demanding conditions. Shimoda’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor reliability, and local responsiveness, fostering collaborative relationships that align with NAVFAC Hawaii’s operational tempo and environmental stewardship goals. Shimoda demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of her awards designated as 8(a) competed set-asides and an equal portion awarded without set-aside. She regularly utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and incorporates HUBZone preferences, reflecting a balanced strategy to promote small business participation while maintaining competitive integrity. Her contracting patterns prioritize broad access for qualified small businesses while ensuring mission-critical requirements are met with reliable vendors. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), supplemented by significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (238220) and facilities support services (561210). This reflects deep expertise in environmental compliance, grounds maintenance, and utility infrastructure support—all critical to sustaining naval operations in a sensitive ecological region.
