Koichi Naraoka

Koichi Naraoka serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA5209 374th Contracting Squadron, part of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain U.S. military installations across Japan. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement for facility infrastructure, logistics support, and maintenance services essential to operational readiness. Naraoka routinely manages competitive solicitations under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, focusing on construction, electrical systems, roofing, and specialized trade services that ensure compliance with DoD standards and environmental regulations. He works closely with project engineers and installation managers to align contracting strategies with facility sustainment priorities and force protection requirements. Naraoka maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in overseas military environments, particularly those capable of delivering complex, geographically dispersed projects under strict security and logistical constraints. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance-based outcomes and contract compliance. Naraoka’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, with no formal preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the operational imperative to prioritize mission-critical capability and vendor capacity over socioeconomic targeting, particularly in high-tempo, overseas locations where qualified small businesses are limited. His approach prioritizes technical competence and proven track record, aligning with the unique constraints of overseas DoD infrastructure sustainment. His primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 238990 (Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with significant activity in roofing, building equipment installation, and integrated facility services. Naraoka’s expertise centers on procuring turnkey construction and maintenance solutions that meet stringent military standards for durability, safety, and operational continuity in austere environments.
