Foo Boon Kim

Foo Boon Kim serves as a secondary procurement liaison at Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain U.S. Navy operational readiness across the Indo-Pacific. While not a primary contracting officer, Kim plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for mission-critical logistics and infrastructure services. Their responsibilities include assisting in the evaluation of technical requirements, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations, and streamlining procurement workflows for rapid response to fleet maintenance and shore facility needs. They typically handle non-complex, time-sensitive acquisitions requiring close coordination between technical stakeholders and vendors. Kim maintains active working relationships with a consistent cohort of contractors, including ICAN Resources Inc., Singularity Security Group LLC, Docomo Pacific, Inc., Tawakkull LLC, and East West Rental Center. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrated logistics support, cybersecurity services, telecommunications infrastructure, and equipment rental solutions tailored to forward-deployed naval operations. The working patterns suggest a preference for repeat vendors with proven performance in austere environments, indicating a reliance on established, reliable partners for mission continuity. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, a consistent 25% of contracts are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This balanced approach supports broad vendor access while maintaining competitive integrity. Procurement activity is evenly distributed across four NAICS categories: 621511 (medical laboratories), 334513 (industrial process instrumentation), 517410 (satellite telecommunications), and 721110 (hotels and motels). This diverse portfolio underscores the center’s need to procure not only defense-specific technical systems but also essential support services for personnel housing and facility operations, reflecting a unique blend of military logistics and civilian infrastructure procurement expertise.
