Risha Walters

Risha Walters serves as a key procurement professional within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi, a U.S. Army installation support unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military readiness across the Pacific region. She manages a portfolio of construction and mission-enabling service contracts critical to facility integrity, environmental compliance, and operational continuity. Her acquisitions primarily support infrastructure resilience, including building maintenance, energy systems, and utilities-related work, ensuring installations remain mission-ready. Walters operates within the Federal Acquisition Regulation framework, executing competitively awarded contracts that align with the Army’s strategic priorities for sustainable and secure infrastructure. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of regional contractors, including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for established local and regional firms with proven capabilities in commercial construction and specialty trades. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and regional familiarity, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet the unique logistical and environmental demands of Pacific-based Army installations. Walters demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a pronounced focus on Women-Owned Small Businesses, which account for 75% of her set-asides. She also regularly utilizes 8(a) competed contracts and maintains a steady, albeit smaller, level of total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to foster diversity in the contractor base while ensuring compliance with federal small business goals and regional economic development objectives. Her procurement activity is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in painting, roofing, and other specialty trade contracting. This underscores her technical expertise in facility maintenance, structural rehabilitation, and infrastructure modernization, aligning with the agency’s mission to sustain mission-critical installations through high-quality, code-compliant construction services.
