Kyla Tomita

Kyla Tomita serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver and sustain mission-critical infrastructure for U.S. Navy operations across the Hawaiian Islands. She manages a portfolio of construction and engineering acquisitions, primarily focused on commercial and institutional building projects, with additional emphasis on heavy civil engineering and specialized industrial control systems. Her work ensures that naval installations maintain operational readiness through timely, compliant, and resilient facility development and modernization. Tomita operates within the full lifecycle of federal contracting, from requirements definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award, ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy strategic priorities. She maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which have demonstrated proven capacity in delivering complex facility construction and infrastructure upgrades under tight operational timelines. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, high-performing vendors with a track record of compliance, safety, and quality execution on military installations. Tomita’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk mitigation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while upholding stringent federal standards. Her contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 70% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, yet she actively promotes small business participation through targeted opportunities for Women-Owned Small Businesses (20%) and HUBZone-certified firms (10%). This balanced approach reflects a commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical standards. Tomita’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), encompassing new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades for barracks, administrative buildings, and support structures. She also oversees related activities under NAICS 237990 for site development and utility infrastructure, and NAICS 335314 for specialized industrial control systems integral to energy and facility automation. Her technical expertise spans construction management, sustainable building practices, and military construction codes, ensuring compliance with DoD and NAVFAC standards.
