A strong advocate for small business participation, King prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with nearly half of her awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She also actively supports Women-Owned Small Businesses and SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate commitment to broadening vendor diversity. Her contracting patterns consistently align with federal socioeconomic goals while maintaining mission-critical service delivery.
