Kelli King

Kelli King serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contracts with agency mission objectives. She specializes in the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of complex service contracts, with a primary focus on management consulting and specialized technical services. Her role is central to delivering mission-critical support through competitively awarded, performance-based contracts that emphasize transparency, accountability, and value-driven outcomes. Kelli routinely handles requirements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and ensures adherence to statutory and regulatory frameworks governing federal contracting. Kelli cultivates relationships with a broad spectrum of professional services vendors, including large consulting firms and niche technical service providers specializing in administrative and operational efficiency solutions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in strategic planning, organizational development, and performance improvement consulting. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair and open competition, fostering a level playing field for both established contractors and emerging service providers. Kelli’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted, open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic designations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with small business goals and supports participation through unrestricted opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), where she acquires strategic advisory services to enhance operational effectiveness. She also regularly procures specialized technical services under NAICS 541990, including analytical, program evaluation, and policy development support. Kelli’s domain expertise centers on organizational consulting, process optimization, and professional services that improve public sector governance and administrative efficiency.
