David Kim

David Kim supports the Office of Research and Community Support within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, overseeing the acquisition of critical digital infrastructure and data processing services essential to advancing housing policy through evidence-based research. In his capacity as a key procurement lead, he manages the full lifecycle of contracts for cloud-based computing platforms, data analytics systems, and web-hosting environments that enable HUD’s mission of equitable housing access and sustainable urban development. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with modernization goals, ensuring secure, scalable, and interoperable digital solutions that support administrative efficiency and public-facing research tools. Kim maintains a primary working relationship with Liberty Communications, Inc., a trusted vendor providing end-to-end computing infrastructure and data processing services. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, high-capacity contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical IT systems under stringent federal compliance standards. While he engages with a limited pool of qualified vendors, his approach emphasizes performance reliability, cybersecurity adherence, and seamless integration with existing HUD data architectures. Notably, Kim’s portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability and operational scale over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing system performance and continuity over targeted small business set-asides. His contracting strategy aligns with the agency’s need for robust, enterprise-grade solutions that can support large-scale housing data initiatives without fragmentation. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 518210, encompassing data processing, cloud hosting, and computing infrastructure services. He routinely acquires managed IT platforms, secure data repositories, and analytics engines that underpin HUD’s research dashboards, policy modeling tools, and community engagement portals, demonstrating deep expertise in federal IT infrastructure procurement and digital service delivery.
