Rieko Toma

Rieko Toma serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA5270 18 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain airfield and facility infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific region. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for services essential to operational readiness, including facilities maintenance, janitorial support, and institutional equipment procurement. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities of rapid airfield recovery, force projection, and infrastructure resilience. Toma maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized facilities and infrastructure support services tailored to U.S. military installations in the Pacific theater. These partnerships reflect a pattern of long-term, performance-based contracting with vendors possessing deep regional expertise and proven capacity to deliver under demanding operational conditions. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and mission alignment over competitive bidding alone, fostering stable vendor relationships critical to sustained readiness. Toma’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing vendor breadth and technical capability rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgent, mission-driven nature of her agency’s operations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her process remains transparent and accessible to all qualified offerors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 337910 (Mattress Manufacturing), and 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing), supporting the daily operational needs of personnel quarters, administrative facilities, and mission support spaces. She also manages acquisitions in 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing), demonstrating technical fluency in both soft services and specialized mechanical systems essential to airfield and base sustainment.
