Lisa K. Nakamoto serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi under the Department of the Army’s W912CN contracting office, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-enabling services critical to Army installation readiness across the Pacific region. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning facility maintenance, logistics support, environmental compliance, and infrastructure resilience, ensuring operational continuity through timely and compliant contract execution. Her work directly supports strategic priorities including energy security, telecommunications infrastructure, and sustainable installation operations, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS regulatory frameworks. Nakamoto maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and specialized vendors capable of delivering complex, on-site services under demanding operational conditions. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, performance-based outcomes, and adaptive contract structures suited to dynamic installation environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Nakamoto consistently prioritizes set-asides, with over half of her awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Women-Owned Small Business set-asides, and occasionally utilizes 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity and equitable access to DoD opportunities. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561710 (pest control), 236220 (commercial/institutional construction), 721310 (dormitories and workers’ camps), and 541614/541690 (logistics and technical consulting services). This reflects expertise in managing mission-critical support functions—from infrastructure upkeep to specialized environmental and operational consulting—ensuring Army installations remain fully functional, compliant, and resilient in remote and high-demand Pacific theaters.
