Mi Suk Yim

Mi Suk Yim serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through efficient, transparent, and competitive contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction-related services, with a focus on commercial and institutional building projects, heavy civil infrastructure, and building systems installation. Yim routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring coordination with engineers, project managers, and technical evaluators to ensure deliverables align with performance specifications and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Yim maintains a broad network of vendors active in the construction sector, including general contractors, specialty trade firms, and engineering service providers. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the vast majority of awards issued under full and open procedures. She engages with a diverse pool of firms capable of delivering high-quality construction and infrastructure services, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and compliance with safety and quality standards over sole-source or limited-restriction approaches. Yim’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward full and open competition, with only 1.1% of awards designated as 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition and value, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB programs, her occasional use of 8(a) pathways demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation when aligned with project needs and regulatory requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). She specializes in procuring turnkey construction services, site development, utility infrastructure, and mechanical systems installation, demonstrating deep familiarity with construction specifications, bid evaluation criteria, and performance-based contracting methodologies.
