Ronnie Sakata

Ronnie T. Sakata serves as a Contracting Officer for the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-enabling acquisitions across the Pacific region. His portfolio supports critical installation sustainability initiatives, including facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and logistical support essential to military readiness. Sakata routinely procures services under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and fixed-price contracts, ensuring operational continuity through reliable vendor performance and regulatory adherence. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement actions with Army-wide resilience goals, particularly in energy, waste management, and infrastructure support. Sakata maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of 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 regional vendors with proven capabilities in construction, waste handling, and facility operations. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service delivery, rigorous contract administration, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings, fostering stable, mission-critical supply chains across remote and high-demand installations. Sakata’s procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 85.3% of awards issued under no set-aside authority, reflecting a focus on broad market access and operational urgency. However, he consistently allocates 14.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements. While he does not frequently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his small business awards are strategically targeted to ensure geographic and functional diversity among qualified vendors. His primary NAICS focus areas include 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), 812332 (Industrial Launderers), 811219 (Other Miscellaneous Personal Services), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services). This reflects deep expertise in environmental services, facility support operations, and mission logistics, with a technical emphasis on compliance-driven, high-reliability service delivery in austere and geographically dispersed environments.
