Adam Starr-King

Adam S. Starr-King serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. He ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through timely and efficient contract execution. His portfolio primarily encompasses services in transportation logistics, facility maintenance, and health insurance support, reflecting a focus on operational enablers rather than capital-intensive procurements. Starr-King works closely with program stakeholders to align contracting strategies with agency priorities, ensuring transparency, competition, and accountability in all acquisition actions. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in current records, Starr-King’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for open competition across a broad vendor base, with no exclusive reliance on any single entity. His approach emphasizes fair and open access to federal contracting opportunities, fostering a competitive environment that encourages both large and small firms to respond to solicitations. He engages with vendors through standard FAR-based processes, including RFQs, RFPs, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, ensuring robust market engagement and contract performance oversight. Starr-King’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize competition over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with agency priorities that emphasize efficiency and broad market participation. While he does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his procurement practices remain fully compliant with small business goals, and he actively promotes small business participation through unrestricted opportunities that allow eligible firms to compete on equal footing. His primary NAICS focus areas include 811219 (Other Personal Care Services), 488991 (Packing and Crating), 485999 (Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation), and 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers). These reflect expertise in procuring specialized logistical, transportation, and health insurance support services. Starr-King’s technical domain knowledge centers on service delivery systems requiring precise operational coordination, regulatory adherence, and performance-based contract management.
