Beverly Lyle

Beverly Lyle serves as a Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) responsible for ensuring technical compliance and performance oversight of federal acquisitions within the postsecondary education sector. In this role, she acts as the primary liaison between the agency and contractors, monitoring deliverables, evaluating contractor performance, and ensuring adherence to contract specifications and federal acquisition regulations. Her responsibilities include reviewing technical reports, approving invoice submissions, and facilitating communication between program managers and vendors. Beverly’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality educational services through effective contract management, with a consistent focus on junior college-related procurements. Beverly Lyle maintains professional relationships with a broad range of contractors specializing in educational services, curriculum development, instructional technology, and administrative support systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages with firms offering workforce training, student support services, and institutional operational solutions. Her working relationships are characterized by a collaborative, performance-driven approach, emphasizing accountability, timely deliverables, and compliance with federal standards. She fosters transparent communication channels to ensure contractor alignment with institutional goals and regulatory requirements. Beverly’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified vendor based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic criteria. While she does not prioritize small business set-asides, her oversight ensures that all vendors—regardless of size—meet rigorous performance benchmarks and compliance standards. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS code 611210, which encompasses junior college services, including academic instruction, student services, and institutional support functions. She specializes in acquiring educational programs, faculty development initiatives, learning management systems, and operational infrastructure tailored to community college environments. Beverly’s technical expertise lies in understanding the unique needs of two-year institutions and ensuring that contracted services directly enhance educational outcomes and institutional efficiency.
