Sumiyo Ohi

Sumiyo Ohi serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA5209 374th Contracting Package under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical infrastructure, logistics, and facility support services essential to operational readiness at U.S. military installations in Japan. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Her portfolio primarily encompasses maintenance, transportation, and facility management contracts that sustain daily operations across geographically dispersed units, with a strong emphasis on regulatory adherence, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes. Ohi maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of established contractors, including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated technical capability in facility maintenance, communications infrastructure, and industrial equipment servicing. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and local or regional operational familiarity, particularly in the Pacific theater, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance accountability and compliance. Ohi’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This approach prioritizes technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s operational imperatives in a high-tempo, overseas environment where rapid response and proven capability take precedence over small business set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), followed by 621511 (Medical Laboratories), 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and 332618 (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing). This reflects deep expertise in industrial maintenance, specialized facility upgrades, and technical infrastructure support, requiring nuanced understanding of mechanical systems, biomedical equipment servicing, and civil works compliance in austere environments.
