Lisa King

Lisa C. King serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Special Warfare Command, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical capabilities essential to elite maritime and unconventional warfare operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on specialized training, tactical equipment, and operational support systems that enhance the readiness of Special Operations Forces. Her acquisitions span advanced mobility solutions, unmanned systems integration, and mission-critical logistics, ensuring forces are equipped with cutting-edge tools for high-risk, low-visibility missions. She operates within the broader U.S. Special Operations Command framework, aligning procurement decisions with strategic priorities in maritime dominance and tactical innovation. King maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Trofholz Technologies, Inc. for advanced training systems, Pass Christian Yacht Works, LLC for maritime vessel support, TeamWorks Tactical Solutions Inc. for tactical equipment integration, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for mission-site infrastructure, and Airgas USA, LLC for specialized gas and safety systems. These relationships reflect a preference for niche, technically proficient contractors capable of delivering customized, high-reliability solutions under stringent operational constraints. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating strong support for small business participation without reliance on specific socioeconomically designated programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. This pattern underscores a focus on capability over certification, prioritizing agility and domain expertise. King’s procurement activity is concentrated in four key NAICS categories: 517919 for specialized communications and network services, 611430 and 611699 for advanced military training and instruction, and 481219 for non-scheduled air transportation supporting rapid deployment. Her technical domain expertise lies in operational readiness systems, maritime mobility platforms, and mission-specific training infrastructure.
