Khalid T. Salim

Khalid T. Salim serves as a key procurement lead within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining military readiness across the Pacific region. He manages a high-volume portfolio of facility infrastructure contracts, primarily focused on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems essential to installation operational continuity. His role involves executing full lifecycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Salim’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in resilient energy systems, environmental compliance, and mission-enabling infrastructure. He maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with a select group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., all of whom specialize in commercial HVAC, mechanical systems, and facility maintenance services. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven regional expertise, technical proficiency in military-grade infrastructure, and a track record of reliable performance under demanding operational conditions. Salim’s procurement strategy is uniformly dedicated to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity among small, locally rooted contractors, particularly those capable of delivering complex mechanical systems in remote or austere environments. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic equity while maintaining mission readiness. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—encompassing design-build, retrofit, and preventive maintenance services for barracks, command centers, and utility infrastructure. He specializes in procuring systems that meet Army environmental and energy efficiency standards, demonstrating deep expertise in mechanical infrastructure procurement for military installations.
