King D. Bishop

King D. Bishop serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4664 452 Msg Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain and modernize air reserve base infrastructure. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, Bishop specializes in construction, engineering, environmental services, and facility support contracts aligned with mission-ready readiness objectives. His work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s priorities in infrastructure resilience, environmental stewardship, and operational continuity for large-scale air operations and community engagement events. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Bishop routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs, as well as firms with expertise in industrial construction, hazardous waste management, and professional engineering services. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, transparent evaluation, and performance-based contracting to ensure accountability and mission alignment across vendor partnerships. Bishop demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 60% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance workforce diversity, consistently prioritizing small business eligibility criteria across solicitations. His contracting patterns align with Department of Defense goals to increase small business contract flow, particularly through non-set-aside and full-and-open competitions that still incentivize small business participation. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 337214 for office furniture, 236210 for industrial building construction, 541330 for engineering services, and 562211 for hazardous waste treatment and disposal. This technical specialization underscores his expertise in facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and mission-critical infrastructure development, positioning him as a key enabler of Air Force Reserve Base operational readiness.
