Kumok Kim

Kumok Kim serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0411 Aq Hq Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure across overseas and garrison installations, including USAG Humphreys and USFK. In this role, Kim manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility-related services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Their portfolio primarily encompasses maintenance, environmental services, and operational support contracts essential to preserving the integrity of military installations. Kim plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into enforceable contractual obligations, balancing regulatory rigor with timely delivery of mission-critical services. Kim maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of contractors including GLOBAL SYSTEMIZED INDUSTRY, 09CLEAN CO., LTD, KOREA CONTAINER POOL CO., LTD, NOKHWACHANGJO, and GLOBAL COMPANY ALLIANCE CO., LTD. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based agreements focused on facility operations, waste management, and logistical support services. The working relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in theater-specific conditions, particularly those capable of delivering integrated, multi-disciplinary services under austere or high-demand environments. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 88.6% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, 11.4% of contracts are competitively awarded under the 8(a) program, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. Kim’s approach prioritizes value and operational reliability over mandated set-asides, aligning with the agency’s mission to ensure uninterrupted support to forward-deployed and garrisoned units. The primary NAICS focus areas include 813110 (Religious Organizations), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 561730 (Landscaping Services), 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), and 561720 (Janitorial Services). This reflects a specialized procurement domain centered on installation support services—particularly waste handling, grounds maintenance, facility upkeep, and non-automotive equipment repair—critical to sustaining daily operations in deployed and permanent Army installations.
