Koichi Naraoka

Koichi Naraoka serves as a Buyer within the FA5209 374th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain operational readiness at U.S. military installations in Japan. His role centers on acquiring facility maintenance, infrastructure support, and building equipment services essential to the daily function of air base operations. Naraoka manages the full lifecycle of contracts under NAICS 238290, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in facility management, logistics support, and environmental compliance. He works closely with installation engineers and logistics teams to translate operational needs into precise statement of work requirements and timely contract awards. Naraoka maintains enduring relationships with a core group of contractors including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These vendors provide specialized services ranging from HVAC and electrical system maintenance to communications infrastructure and facility modernization. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and regional responsiveness, often favoring contractors with proven on-site presence in the Indo-Pacific theater and experience supporting DoD facility standards. Naraoka’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his acquisition strategy, he ensures all solicitations adhere to FAR requirements for fair and transparent competition, leveraging market research to identify capable vendors regardless of size or certification status. His primary technical domain is NAICS 238290—Other Building Equipment Contractors—encompassing the procurement of specialized systems such as building automation controls, emergency power distribution, fire suppression integration, and facility-specific mechanical installations. Naraoka’s expertise lies in managing complex, performance-based contracts for mission-critical infrastructure that must meet stringent military safety and operational standards across dispersed Pacific bases.
