Mi Suk Yim

Mi Suk Yim serves as a key procurement professional within the 0906 Aq Co Det A Contracti, a U.S. Army unit under the Department of Defense responsible for sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure across overseas garrisons in South Korea. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility support contracts critical to maintaining troop readiness and quality of life, overseeing the acquisition of services related to building construction, utility systems, and institutional facility maintenance. Her role ensures timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure projects aligned with Army garrison modernization priorities, requiring close coordination with field engineers and logistics teams to meet operational timelines and regulatory compliance standards. Yim maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MAEK POONG CO., LTD, HANBAEK CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, THYMOS INC., and YUIL ENG. & CONST. CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for established regional and international firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction and facility operations. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of executing complex, multi-phase projects under austere conditions, often requiring compliance with U.S. and host-nation regulatory frameworks. Her procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 94.4% of awards issued without socioeconomic preferences, indicating a focus on technical capability and performance history over socioeconomic targeting. Only 5.6% of contracts are designated for Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2, suggesting a strategic emphasis on leveraging local South Korean labor and supply chains where feasible, but without prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Yim’s primary procurement focus lies in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), accounting for over half of her portfolio, followed by appliance repair and maintenance (811412), and specialized trades including electrical transmission (221121), HVAC (238220), and other building equipment systems (238290). Her expertise centers on integrated facility sustainment, ensuring that barracks, utilities, and mission-support infrastructure remain operationally resilient under demanding overseas conditions.
