Donald A. King

Donald A. King serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services to support mission-critical government operations. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and contract administration. His portfolio primarily encompasses non-clinical advisory services, training programs, and specialized consulting engagements, requiring a nuanced understanding of performance-based contracting, statement of work development, and risk mitigation in professional services procurement. Mr. King’s contracting patterns reflect a broad and diverse vendor base, with no single contractor dominating his award portfolio. He engages with a wide array of firms—from large professional services providers to niche consultancies—fostering competitive environments that prioritize value, technical capability, and past performance. His approach emphasizes open competition and fair opportunity, ensuring that solicitations are structured to attract qualified offerors while maintaining transparency and accountability throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Notably, Mr. King’s contracting activity is entirely focused on non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and leverage the broadest possible pool of expertise, rather than relying on socioeconomic set-asides. His approach aligns with agency priorities that emphasize capability over certification, while still adhering to all applicable small business outreach and reporting requirements. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS codes 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). He routinely acquires strategic planning, organizational development, technical advisory services, and workforce training solutions, demonstrating deep familiarity with the delivery of knowledge-based services in complex federal environments.
