Mariko Metoki

Mariko Metoki serves as a Contract Administrator for the FA5205 35 Cons Pk unit under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain airfield and base infrastructure readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for advanced communications systems, auxiliary aircraft components, and specialized maintenance services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational timelines. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain high-integrity, deployable communication networks and mission-essential equipment across both domestic and expeditionary environments. Metoki maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC and AMERICAN ENGINEERING CORPORATION, partnering with firms that deliver specialized electronic systems, technical support, and logistics solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in stringent quality control and delivery accountability. These relationships are cultivated through transparent solicitation processes and rigorous post-award oversight to ensure alignment with Air Force operational standards. Her contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open, unrestricted competitions with no set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing vendor expertise and proven performance in high-stakes environments. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, her acquisitions remain accessible to all qualified offerors under full and open competition. Metoki’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing), and two merchant wholesaler categories—423910 and 423690—reflecting a broad technical scope that spans embedded computing systems, radiation-emitting equipment, and specialized electronic components. Her domain expertise lies in procuring mission-critical hardware and integrated systems that support secure communications, surveillance, and sustainment operations in austere conditions.
