C. Erik King

C. Erik King serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation through contract award and administration. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including FAR and agency-specific policies, while supporting mission-critical procurement objectives. King typically handles complex service and equipment contracts requiring technical evaluation and risk mitigation, with a focus on IT systems, communications hardware, and automotive supply chain solutions. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to acquire high-integrity, mission-enabling goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. King maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including large prime contractors and specialized manufacturers across technology and distribution sectors. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he regularly engages firms with expertise in computer systems design, communications equipment manufacturing, and motor vehicle wholesale distribution. His approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and delivery quality. King’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and broad market participation over socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not exclusively target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms, his processes remain accessible to all qualified vendors, ensuring equitable opportunity within a competitive framework. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 423110 (Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle Merchant Wholesalers). He routinely acquires custom software solutions, network infrastructure components, and specialized vehicle parts, demonstrating deep familiarity with both IT systems integration and industrial supply chain logistics. King’s expertise lies in navigating the intersection of technical specifications, regulatory compliance, and market dynamics to deliver mission-critical capabilities.
