Naomi Chiba

Naomi Chiba serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5209 374th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness at U.S. military installations in Japan. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for facility maintenance, logistics support, and infrastructure services essential to daily base operations, ensuring compliance with DoD standards and environmental regulations. Her portfolio emphasizes timely delivery of non-combat, sustainment-focused services that directly support personnel welfare and equipment functionality across geographically dispersed units. Chiba maintains established working relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships span facility management, communications systems, waste handling, and specialized industrial equipment, reflecting a blend of domestic and international vendor engagement. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in consistent delivery and quality assurance. Chiba’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market competition and leveraging global vendor capabilities rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are applied, her process ensures rigorous evaluation of technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness across all bidders, aligning with DoD directives for efficient, transparent acquisition. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 325611 (soap and detergent manufacturing for base sanitation), 333111 (farm machinery for grounds maintenance), 334519 (precision measuring devices for facility diagnostics), 541350 (building inspection services for code compliance), and 562219 (nonhazardous waste treatment). These reflect a specialized technical domain centered on facility integrity, environmental compliance, and operational infrastructure—requiring deep familiarity with military installation standards and DoD sustainability protocols.
