Rumiko Shimooka serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Far East, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific theater. Responsible for managing complex construction and facility services acquisitions, she ensures that base operating support, utility modernization, and environmental compliance initiatives are delivered in alignment with operational readiness requirements. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical infrastructure projects, including building systems integration, site development, and waste management services essential to forward-deployed Navy and Marine Corps installations. Shimooka maintains longstanding 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 firms with proven experience in military-grade construction, facility operations, and environmental remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, lifecycle cost efficiency, and compliance with DoD standards, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor engagement rather than transactional procurement. Her procurement patterns show a consistent preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission suitability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, she evaluates all bidders on merit, ensuring competitive rigor and value-driven outcomes. Shimooka’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), reflecting deep expertise in electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems installation, as well as comprehensive solid waste and environmental services. Her work ensures that installations maintain operational resilience through reliable utilities, sustainable waste handling, and compliant environmental stewardship.
