Kozo Okamura

Kozo Okamura serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, overseeing the acquisition of critical mechanical and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions under SPE7M1, Okamura specializes in sourcing high-integrity parts including industrial valves, fluid power fittings, pipe assemblies, and ordnance accessories that support mission-critical platforms. Their work ensures timely delivery of components compliant with military specifications, directly enabling sustainment of armored vehicles, shipboard systems, and expeditionary equipment across global theaters. Okamura maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established suppliers including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in precision metal fabrication, fluid power systems, and defense-grade component manufacturing. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often involving long-term blanket purchase agreements and performance-based contracts to ensure continuous availability of mission-essential parts. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 92.1% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 7.9% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising operational urgency or technical rigor. Okamura’s procurement patterns prioritize capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with DLA’s mission-driven procurement philosophy. The primary technical focus lies in NAICS 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing) and 332912 (Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in pressure-rated metal components, threaded fittings, and sealed hydraulic systems. Additional activity spans miscellaneous fabricated metal products and specialized aerospace fittings, underscoring a technical proficiency in high-reliability mechanical subsystems critical to defense platforms.
