CPT Paul Kim

CPT Paul Kim serves as a key procurement lead within the 0410 Aq Hq Contract Office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-enabling contracts that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed environments. His portfolio centers on hospitality and lodging services critical to personnel welfare, ensuring seamless accommodations for military personnel, civilian staff, and transient forces. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, coordinating with program managers and logistics teams to align acquisition strategies with force support requirements. His work directly supports the Army’s strategic imperative to maintain robust, reliable, and scalable support infrastructure in both garrison and expeditionary settings. CPT Kim maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of contractors including BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC, BARBARICUM LLC, QUIET PROFESSIONALS, LLC, SOS INTERNATIONAL LLC, and SECOND-61 LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility operations, transient lodging, and integrated hospitality services for DoD environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service delivery, contract compliance, and continuous operational feedback loops to ensure service quality and mission alignment. CPT Kim’s acquisition portfolio is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of capability, scalability, and operational continuity over socioeconomic set-asides, though it does not preclude small business participation where competitive responses meet technical and performance thresholds. His contracting patterns demonstrate a focus on mission-critical delivery rather than socioeconomic quotas. His primary procurement focus is firmly anchored in NAICS 721110 — Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels — encompassing the full spectrum of lodging services including room management, housekeeping, food services, security, and facility maintenance. He specializes in contracting for transient, temporary, and long-term billeting solutions tailored to military standards, demonstrating deep expertise in operational hospitality logistics within austere and high-demand environments.
