Ty T Okuhara

Ty T. Okuhara serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports mission-critical procurement activities by aligning contracting strategies with agency objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical and infrastructure-related acquisitions, including communications equipment, water systems, flight training services, and electric power distribution solutions. Okuhara plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that promote efficiency and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Okuhara maintains a procurement environment that actively engages diverse vendor communities, particularly small businesses. His contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on fostering competition and ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities. He works closely with vendors across multiple socioeconomic categories, encouraging participation through transparent solicitation practices and clear evaluation criteria that prioritize capability and compliance. A defining feature of Okuhara’s contracting approach is his pronounced preference for Small Business Set-Asides, with 63.6% of his awards designated under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses, with minimal use of unrestricted procurements. His pattern of set-aside usage underscores a strategic focus on socioeconomic goals, reinforcing the government’s mandate to promote entrepreneurship and economic inclusion within the federal marketplace. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment), 221310 (water supply and irrigation systems), 611512 (flight training), and 221122 (electric power distribution). These domains require specialized knowledge in technical specifications, performance-based contracting, and compliance with industry standards. Okuhara’s expertise enables him to effectively evaluate complex proposals and manage contracts for mission-critical systems in communications, infrastructure, training, and energy sectors.
