Shaana Ito

Shaana Ito serves as the primary contracting lead for the W6QM Micc-ft Stewart under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of mission-enabling services critical to sustaining Army installations and training environments. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, facilities maintenance, and institutional support contracts, ensuring operational readiness through timely procurement of commercial and heavy civil infrastructure services. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain and modernize military bases by securing essential building systems, roofing, plumbing, electrical upgrades, and related support services that underpin daily military operations. Ito maintains a consistent working relationship with X CELL MANAGEMENT INC, a key vendor providing specialized support services across multiple installation sites. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated facility maintenance and operational support solutions. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and task order mechanisms under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, emphasizing accountability, compliance, and mission alignment. A strong advocate for small business participation, Ito consistently structures procurements with a 66.7% total small business set-aside rate, aligning with FAR 19.5 guidelines to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, ensuring broad vendor access while maintaining rigorous performance standards and compliance with small business certification requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), which encompasses facility operations, custodial, security, and maintenance support, as well as NAICS 325998 for specialized chemical preparations used in decontamination, corrosion control, and environmental remediation. This technical domain expertise enables her to effectively manage complex, multi-disciplinary contracts requiring coordination between civil engineering, environmental compliance, and facility management disciplines.
