Robyn E. King

Robyn A. King serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security. She plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support national transportation security infrastructure, focusing on advanced detection systems, cybersecurity services, and operational support solutions. Her portfolio includes complex procurements for explosive detection technologies, irradiation equipment, and GPS-enabled rail monitoring systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Robyn works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements, managing the full lifecycle of contracts from market research through award and administration. Robyn cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including specialized technology providers, systems integrators, and technical consulting firms. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering high-assurance security solutions and custom software services. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive fairness, transparency, and vendor responsiveness to evolving threat landscapes, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate technical excellence and regulatory compliance. Robyn demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured to support small business participation. Her set-aside preferences include both Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses while maintaining robust competition. She actively promotes socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements, ensuring that set-asides align with technical complexity and delivery timelines. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541219 (Other Accounting Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 561110 (Office Administrative Services), with additional activity in 511210. This reflects her specialization in technical consulting, software development, and administrative support services critical to sustaining security operations. Robyn’s expertise lies in bridging technical requirements with acquisition strategy, ensuring procurements deliver both operational capability and fiscal accountability.
