John King

John Forbes King III serves as a Senior Airman (SrA) within the FA4528 5 Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition and management of facility infrastructure projects critical to Air Force installation readiness. In this role, he contributes to the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction and specialty trade contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-driven infrastructure modernization goals. His responsibilities include coordinating with engineering and project management teams to define technical requirements for building systems integration, structural construction, and facility sustainment activities, with a focus on delivering mission-critical environments across commercial, institutional, and industrial facility types. King maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for complex building construction and site development tasks. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability in delivering integrated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing systems. He collaborates closely with technical specialists to validate contractor capabilities and ensure adherence to military construction standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality, timeliness, and regulatory compliance. King’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under no set-aside status. This indicates a focus on maximizing competition among qualified firms rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing technical merit and capacity over certification-based preferences. His primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in structural construction, building envelope systems, and integrated mechanical-electrical-plumbing (MEP) installations. He routinely procures services involving new construction, renovation, and life-cycle maintenance of mission-support facilities, demonstrating specialized knowledge in military construction codes and facility sustainment standards.
