Caitlin King

Caitlin King supports the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with the U.S. Navy’s fleet sustainment objectives. Though her official title is not specified, her role centers on managing acquisition strategies for specialized engineering, logistics, and maintenance services essential to naval platform readiness. She handles complex contracting actions involving technical services, repair capabilities, and mission-critical infrastructure support, ensuring compliance with Department of Defense procurement regulations and operational timelines. Her work directly enables maritime superiority by securing the logistical and technical backbone required for fleet operations. King maintains established relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC for logistics and technical support, DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP for advisory and systems integration services, and ADVANIA ISLAND EHF. for specialized supply chain solutions. She also engages with niche providers such as COMPLETE PARACHUTE SOLUTIONS, INC. and Computational Physics Inc. for highly technical, mission-specific hardware and modeling services. Her contracting patterns reflect a balance between established large-capacity vendors and specialized firms capable of delivering niche, high-precision capabilities required by naval operations. Her procurement portfolio reflects an even split between total small business set-asides and open competitions, demonstrating a deliberate and balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting. While she actively leverages FAR 19.5 small business set-asides to foster competition and innovation, she also ensures access to specialized capabilities through unrestricted awards when necessary. This dual strategy supports both workforce development and operational effectiveness. King’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 712110 (Museums) and 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), indicating a unique alignment with heritage preservation, specialized artifact handling, and unconventional manufacturing of non-standard components. These categories suggest she manages acquisitions for historical naval equipment restoration, bespoke tooling, and low-volume, high-precision manufacturing—domains requiring deep technical oversight and regulatory nuance.
