Lynn Arakaki

Lynn Arakaki serves as a Contracting Officer for W2SN Endist Honolulu under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical civil engineering and construction services essential to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure across Hawaii. Her role is central to the agency’s mission of enhancing force readiness through the design, construction, and renovation of combat-support facilities, utilities, and base infrastructure. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—primarily focusing on large-scale commercial and institutional building projects that support Army garrisons and training installations. Arakaki maintains a consistent and strategic working relationship with CONTI FEDERAL SERVICES, LLC, a primary contractor for complex construction and facility modernization efforts. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering collaboration with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in military-grade construction standards and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers specifications. These relationships are built on sustained performance, adherence to safety and environmental regulations, and responsiveness to mission-critical timelines. Her contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition to ensure the highest level of technical capability and cost-effectiveness. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her awards remain accessible to all qualified vendors, with selection driven by technical merit and past performance rather than socioeconomic categorization. Arakaki’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she specializes in the acquisition of reinforced concrete structures, utility system upgrades, barracks renovations, and mission-critical facility expansions. Her technical expertise lies in managing projects requiring compliance with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria, sustainable design standards, and resilience engineering for tropical and seismic environments.
