Chong-Ae Kim

Chong-Ae Kim serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0411 Aq Hq Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure across overseas and garrison installations, including USAG Humphreys and USFK. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the Army’s mission to maintain operational readiness through resilient infrastructure. Her acquisitions primarily encompass facility maintenance, environmental services, and support systems essential to garrison functionality, with a focus on timely, compliant, and mission-driven contract execution. Kim maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors, including GLOBAL SYSTEMIZED INDUSTRY, 09CLEAN CO., LTD, KOREA CONTAINER POOL CO., LTD, NOKHWACHANGJO, and GLOBAL COMPANY ALLIANCE CO., LTD., many of which are regional or Korea-based vendors with proven capacity to deliver specialized services in theater. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, reliable partners with demonstrated performance in overseas environments, emphasizing continuity, local expertise, and logistical adaptability over frequent vendor rotation. Kim’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on mission urgency and operational necessity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the unique constraints and requirements of overseas military installations where qualified small business participation may be limited. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), indicating deep specialization in facility support services critical to garrison sustainability. She also procures specialized services under 541199 and 813110, suggesting a broad operational scope that includes ancillary but mission-enabling services, demonstrating technical familiarity with non-traditional defense contracting domains.
