Andrea TE King

Andrea T.E. King serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing mission-critical procurement objectives for technical and medical equipment. Her portfolio primarily involves complex procurements for analytical laboratory instruments, electromedical devices, and surgical equipment, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes. She routinely collaborates with engineering firms, medical device manufacturers, and specialized wholesale distributors to secure high-precision, regulatory-compliant solutions. Andrea cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad base of vendors, including both large manufacturers and small businesses specializing in medical and analytical instrumentation. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing the technical certifications and quality systems necessary to meet stringent federal standards, such as ISO 13485 and FDA QSR compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory alignment. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 97% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and market-wide competition. Nevertheless, she maintains a deliberate commitment to small business participation, allocating approximately 3% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating alignment with federal socioeconomic goals without compromising acquisition efficiency. Andrea’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334510 (Electromedical Apparatus Manufacturing), with additional focus on surgical instruments and medical equipment wholesale. She routinely procures high-accuracy diagnostic tools, therapeutic devices, and specialized lab equipment used in research, clinical, and public health settings, requiring deep familiarity with FDA classifications, technical specifications, and supply chain integrity standards.
