Keiko Ujiie

Keiko Ujiie serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Command System Command Far East (NAVFACSYSCOM FE), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Indo-Pacific. Responsible for managing facility-related acquisitions, she oversees contracts critical to base operating support, infrastructure sustainment, and utility modernization. Her portfolio primarily includes construction, remodeling, and facilities support services, ensuring mission-critical infrastructure meets environmental compliance and energy resilience standards. She operates within a high-tempo, forward-deployed environment where timely delivery of resilient facilities directly impacts force readiness. Ujiie maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including KANAGAWA NABCO PTY. LTD., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PAE DESIGN AND FACILITY MANAGEMENT, and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, regionally established firms capable of executing complex construction and facility management tasks in austere or geographically dispersed locations. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on proven performers with demonstrated technical competency in military facility standards, environmental remediation, and utility system upgrades, fostering long-term vendor reliability over frequent contract recompetition. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of capability, schedule, and quality over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgent operational needs of forward-deployed forces. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, the nature of her portfolio still enables engagement with small firms through subcontracting or teaming arrangements. Ujiie’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236118 (Residential Remodelers) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in facilities support services (561210) and water supply systems (221310). Her expertise centers on retrofitting aging infrastructure, upgrading utility networks, and ensuring compliance with DoD environmental and energy standards, making her a critical link in sustaining the Navy’s physical footprint across the Indo-Pacific theater.
