Rich Kim serves as a Contracting Officer for FA4620 92 Cons Lgc within the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure sustainment, security systems, and specialized support equipment essential to air base operational readiness. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and Air Force-specific directives. His portfolio primarily includes industrial maintenance services, physical security enhancements, and aviation support systems, all critical to maintaining the integrity and functionality of Air Force installations. Kim maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Didsbury Inc., ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY, INC., NW TEL, LLC, RHODES STEPHENNE, and ATS INLAND NW LLC, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility maintenance, acoustic control, telecommunications, and specialized construction services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in technical expertise and regulatory compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Kim prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with over half of his awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively supports Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) programs, consistently integrating these categories into solicitation strategies to expand market access and promote equitable opportunity. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to building services (561790), air transportation support (488190), and, notably, health-related services such as general medical facilities (622110) and miscellaneous health practitioner offices (621399), indicating a unique blend of infrastructure and ancillary health support acquisitions. This reflects a nuanced understanding of the intersection between facility sustainment and personnel readiness, requiring technical fluency in both civil engineering and healthcare logistics domains.
