Joyce B King

Joyce B. King serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements focused on network resilience, secure connectivity, and telecom modernization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DoD cybersecurity standards. Her portfolio primarily includes services supporting the deployment and maintenance of virtual private networks, fiber-optic infrastructure, and enterprise-level telecom systems essential to military and federal operations. Joyce routinely collaborates with a core group of established contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in secure telecommunications, network engineering, and infrastructure sustainment. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service agreements, and vendor accountability to maintain operational continuity across distributed environments. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, Joyce consistently allocates approximately 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides in alignment with FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission readiness. She does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, instead focusing on capability and capacity as primary selection criteria. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services), 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), and 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), reflecting a broad scope that includes IT infrastructure management, technical advisory services, and event logistics for defense communications initiatives. Joyce’s expertise lies in integrating commercial telecom solutions with DoD-specific security requirements, ensuring interoperability and scalability across joint and coalition networks.
