Benjamin W. Ryan

Benjamin W. Ryan serves as a Contract Administrator for FA4686 9 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility maintenance, utility systems, environmental compliance, and technical modernization efforts. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and administering service and construction contracts in alignment with FAR guidelines, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant procurement actions. Ryan’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain base functionality through preventive and reactive maintenance programs. Ryan maintains a consistent working relationship with RESTORED CLOUD INC, a key vendor providing specialized IT and communications infrastructure support. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, partnering with both established contractors and small businesses to deliver technical solutions for facility systems and communications equipment. He prioritizes clear performance metrics and contract oversight to ensure contractor accountability and mission alignment. His procurement portfolio is evenly split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting. While no single set-aside program dominates, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. Ryan’s primary NAICS focus areas include 813110 (Religious Organizations), 611710 (Educational Support Services), and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting an unconventional but mission-driven procurement profile. These categories support niche infrastructure needs such as communications systems, training support services, and facility-based technical installations. His expertise lies in bridging operational requirements with specialized technical services, particularly in communications and electrical systems, ensuring installations remain resilient and mission-ready.
