Masayo Inoue

Masayo Inoue serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA5209 374th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining U.S. military operations in Japan. She executes acquisitions for facility maintenance, logistics support, and infrastructure services essential to mission readiness, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and DoD acquisition policies. Her portfolio primarily encompasses transportation and moving services that enable the seamless movement of personnel, equipment, and household goods across geographically dispersed installations. In this role, she interfaces with contractors, program managers, and logistics teams to align contracting outcomes with operational requirements and regulatory standards. Inoue maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a blend of domestic and international vendors with proven capabilities in freight transportation, facility support, and communications infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous vendor evaluation, and long-term contract administration to ensure service continuity and compliance with installation-specific operational demands. Inoue’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for maximizing vendor competition and leveraging market capabilities without socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing operational efficiency and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), accounting for 75% of her activity, and NAICS 484110 (General Freight Trucking, Local), representing 25%. She specializes in procuring relocation services, local freight transport, and related logistics support essential to garrison sustainment, demonstrating deep expertise in moving operations, cargo handling, and transportation compliance within a military context.
