Kyong Y. Kim

Kyong Y. Kim serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across advanced manufacturing and aerospace supply chains. While specific agency affiliation is not disclosed, their work centers on acquiring mission-critical components for defense and industrial systems, with a focus on precision-engineered parts and auxiliary equipment. Kim oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical specifications. Their portfolio consistently supports high-reliability manufacturing requirements, often involving stringent quality controls and supply chain traceability. Kim’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with nearly 90% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, they maintain a deliberate and measurable commitment to small business participation, regularly awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5. Limited but intentional use of HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness or technical performance. Their procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in aerospace and defense supply chains. Additional emphasis on textile product mills (314999) and fabricated metal products (332999, 332618, 332722) reveals a broad technical scope encompassing specialized materials, fasteners, and wire components critical to complex systems integration. Kim’s work requires close coordination with manufacturers capable of meeting exacting military and industrial standards, often involving custom fabrication, certification, and just-in-time delivery models. Their contracting strategy prioritizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and regulatory compliance over volume-based sourcing.
