His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of facility-related acquisitions, from requirements development to contract award and administration, with a focus on building operations, environmental compliance, and security infrastructure. Kyner plays a vital role in ensuring operational readiness by procuring construction and maintenance services essential to airfield, lodging, and institutional facility integrity. His acquisitions are primarily performance-based, emphasizing quality assurance and regulatory adherence under federal construction standards. Kyner maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including CHALLENGE UNLIMITED, INC., JAYTECH, INC., and NORTH AMERICAN IMPORT AND EXPORT COMPANY LLC, all of which specialize in commercial and institutional construction and roofing systems. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven technical capability and past performance in military facility environments, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and compliance. He actively engages these contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing accountability and mission alignment.

He routinely procures services involving concrete, steel framing, waterproofing, and roofing membrane installation, requiring deep familiarity with military construction codes and sustainable building practices. His domain expertise centers on sustaining mission-essential infrastructure through technically rigorous, compliant, and timely construction acquisitions.
