Monique King

Monique King serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2518 USSF SPOC/SAIO, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize critical space domain capabilities. Responsible for managing technical acquisitions in engineering, telecommunications, and electromagnetic warfare systems, she ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical services that enhance space domain awareness and secure satellite communications. Her portfolio centers on high-complexity, non-standardized technical consulting services, often requiring specialized expertise in space systems integration, signal intelligence, and resilient communications architectures. She plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with operational needs across contested and congested space environments. King maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with top-tier technical service providers including Keystone Mission Solutions Corp, Riverside Research Institute, and Bowhead Information Technology Service LLC. These contractors are selected for their deep domain expertise in space systems engineering, advanced signal processing, and secure communications infrastructure. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, requiring rigorous technical validation and proven track records in classified and expeditionary space operations. She favors established vendors with demonstrated experience in supporting U.S. Space Force missions and maintaining compliance with stringent security protocols. King’s acquisition strategy reflects a firm commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. There is no current reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs; instead, she prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring that mission-critical capabilities are delivered without compromise. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—encompassing advanced engineering analysis, systems integration, and technical advisory support for space-based surveillance, satellite network resilience, and electronic warfare systems. She consistently procures services requiring specialized knowledge in orbital mechanics, RF spectrum management, and space situational awareness technologies.
