CRAIG KING

Craig King serves as the primary procurement lead for the Land Supply Chain under the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and fabricated metal components essential to the sustainment of military vehicles, weapons platforms, and ground support equipment. His role centers on ensuring the operational readiness of land and maritime systems by securing high-reliability parts engineered to withstand extreme environmental and mechanical stresses. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—focusing exclusively on components classified under NAICS 336390, which encompasses other motor vehicle parts manufacturing. His acquisitions directly support the integrity and longevity of armored fleets, tactical transport systems, and maintenance infrastructure across deployed theaters. Craig King maintains a broad, non-exclusive contractor engagement model, working with a diverse pool of qualified industrial suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications such as MIL-STD and AS9100 standards. He collaborates with both large-tier manufacturers and specialized fabricators who demonstrate proven capability in precision machining, welding, and heat treatment of alloyed metals. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established technical competency over geographic or socioeconomic categorization, resulting in a 100% non-set-aside award profile. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of performance, reliability, and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic preferences. His industry focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 336390, with acquisitions centered on chassis components, suspension systems, drivetrain parts, armored plate fittings, and custom-fabricated housings for military-grade equipment. He possesses deep technical familiarity with materials such as hardened steel alloys, titanium composites, and corrosion-resistant coatings, ensuring procurement decisions align with engineering requirements for durability under combat conditions. His expertise lies in evaluating technical proposals for metallurgical integrity, dimensional tolerances, and qualification testing protocols critical to battlefield performance.
