Patricia A. King

Patricia A. King serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2521 45 Cons Pk facility, where she manages mission-critical procurements supporting aerospace operations and base infrastructure readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the acquisition of precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, integrated security infrastructure, and specialized facility services essential to sustaining airfield and range operations. She applies full lifecycle contracting expertise—from solicitation development to contract award and administration—to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational urgency requirements. King maintains established working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including ROBERTS TREESCAPING, LLC for landscape and environmental management, THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C. for structural and marine-grade infrastructure support, CYPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC for technical systems integration, and INTERCONNECT WIRING LLP for advanced cabling and communications infrastructure. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche contractors with proven capabilities in high-reliability, mission-essential environments, often requiring stringent quality controls and defense-specific compliance standards. Her contracting patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 73.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while 26.7% are allocated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition while actively fostering participation from qualified small businesses across socioeconomic categories, consistent with Air Force sustainability and resilience objectives. King’s procurement focus spans a diverse set of NAICS codes, including 314999 (miscellaneous textile products), 325612 (sanitation goods manufacturing), 335999 (miscellaneous electrical equipment), 424410 (grocery wholesaling), and 511210 (software publishers). While seemingly broad, these categories support ancillary but essential functions such as protective gear, facility maintenance consumables, control system components, logistics support, and mission-critical software tools required for day-to-day operational continuity at the installation.
