Timothy King

Timothy King serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the FA2363 FMS AWACS AFLCMC/HBI office of the Department of the Air Force, contributing to the life-cycle sustainment and modernization of the E-3 and E-7 Airborne Warning and Control System fleets. He supports complex acquisition efforts focused on integrating advanced radar, communication, navigation, and data-link systems to maintain global airborne command, control, and surveillance capabilities. His role involves coordinating technical requirements, evaluating contractor proposals, and ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations for both domestic and international partner programs, including those supporting Japan’s E-7 fleet modernization. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, King collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense aerospace and systems integration firms specializing in avionics, mission systems, and logistics support. His procurement activities involve close coordination with prime contractors and tiered subcontractors delivering mission-critical components and engineering services, often requiring stringent compliance with ITAR, DFARS, and NATO STANAG standards. His working pattern emphasizes technical rigor and interoperability across allied platforms, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance and certification compliance. King’s acquisition portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the mission-critical nature of AWACS sustainment, where specialized technical expertise and national security requirements necessitate broad market access to ensure timely delivery of high-assurance systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, the agency maintains engagement with qualified small firms through subcontracting opportunities and industry days. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 541614 (Logistics Consulting), 334511 (Aeronautical System Manufacturing), and 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing). These categories reflect deep expertise in avionics modernization, mission system integration, and global logistics support for airborne command platforms, underscoring a technical domain centered on radar signal processing, secure data networks, and flight-critical electronic components.
