Responsible for managing complex infrastructure acquisitions, she oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts critical to base operating support, utility modernization, and environmental compliance. Her portfolio centers on facilities support services, heavy civil engineering, and electric power distribution, ensuring that forward-deployed forces receive resilient, mission-critical infrastructure.

Sonoda maintains enduring relationships with a core group of contractors including KANAGAWA NABCO PTY. LTD., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PAE DESIGN AND FACILITY MANAGEMENT, and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with proven experience in military construction, utility systems, and environmental remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with DoD standards, and performance-based outcomes, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types to mitigate risk and ensure accountability. Sonoda’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVFAC’s mission-critical infrastructure needs in remote and contested regions. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all vendors must meet stringent qualification and performance benchmarks regardless of size. Her primary NAICS focus includes Facilities Support Services (561210), Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (237990), and Electric Power Distribution (221122), indicating deep expertise in integrated infrastructure sustainment. She routinely procures services ranging from facility operations and maintenance to electrical grid upgrades and geotechnical construction, demonstrating specialized knowledge in military base utilities, energy resilience, and environmental regulatory compliance.
