Jennifer L. King

Jennifer L. King serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Knox, a critical support unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining troop readiness through hospitality, food service, and recreational infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance quality of life and operational continuity for military personnel and their families. Her acquisitions primarily focus on lodging, dining, recreational facilities, and ancillary support services, ensuring seamless logistics for garrison operations and training environments. She operates under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, leveraging simplified acquisition authorities to meet dynamic, time-sensitive requirements while maintaining strict compliance with federal procurement standards. King maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including CHENEGA GOVERNMENT MISSION SOLUTIONS, LLC, OCS-NCS JV II, LLC, and SPACE AGE ENGINEERING, INC., who deliver integrated hospitality and facility support solutions. She also engages specialized vendors such as C.R. & A. CUSTOM APPAREL INC. for tailored uniform and insignia services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes, with a preference for firms experienced in military installation environments and capable of scaling services across multiple garrisons. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 30% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among small, community-based providers. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive effort to diversify the supplier base and strengthen local economic resilience. King’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 721214 (Recreational and Vacation Camps), 722320 (Caterers), and 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), reflecting her specialization in life-cycle support services for military housing and morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) programs. She routinely procures turnkey operational services—including meal planning, facility maintenance, laundry logistics, and recreational equipment leasing—ensuring compliance with DoD standards for hygiene, safety, and accessibility.
