Randy Kim

Randy Kim serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, food manufacturing, and specialized commercial services, with a focus on complex, non-standardized requirements that demand nuanced contract structuring and risk mitigation strategies. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Randy routinely engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large prime contractors and small businesses, particularly those capable of delivering customized software solutions and niche food production services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based acquisitions and fixed-price mechanisms, fostering accountability and value-driven outcomes. He maintains a collaborative approach with industry, often conducting pre-solicitation outreach to ensure market readiness and competitive responses. Randy’s procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 96.2% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a commitment to market-driven outcomes. However, he consistently facilitates small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes competition while supporting socioeconomic goals. His use of set-asides aligns with agency-wide objectives to broaden vendor diversity without compromising acquisition efficiency. His primary NAICS focus is on Other Computer Related Services (541519) and Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), indicating deep expertise in IT modernization, systems integration, and software development. He also regularly procures commercial bakery products (311812) and flavoring syrups (311930), showcasing an unusual but strategic blend of high-tech and food service acquisitions. This diverse technical portfolio underscores his ability to manage complex, cross-sector procurements requiring specialized domain knowledge and regulatory adaptability.
