Shavonne King

Shavonne King serves as a key procurement professional within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04) of the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Offices, where she supports the acquisition of specialized professional and technical services critical to federal land management and resource stewardship. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract execution for high-impact services including real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research, and systems design—ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to maintain infrastructure integrity and uphold public trust assets. She routinely manages complex, mission-critical procurements requiring subject matter expertise and stringent compliance with federal acquisition regulations. King maintains established working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., HMC Helicopter Service LLC, and Mathematica Inc. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on niche providers offering aviation support, data analytics, and technical consulting services essential to operational continuity across remote federal lands. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors demonstrating proven capability in high-risk, mission-essential domains. King’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and operational readiness over socioeconomic categorizations, prioritizing capability and reliability in mission-critical environments. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her contracting decisions are guided by competitive fairness and performance-based selection criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), 611710 (Educational Support Services), and 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), indicating a diverse operational footprint spanning data infrastructure, training and technical assistance, and facility support services. This unique combination underscores her expertise in managing unconventional yet vital acquisitions that sustain the agency’s land management and public access missions.
