Derrick Loyde

Derrick Loyde serves as a key procurement lead within the DCSO Richmond Division #1, operating under the Defense Logistics Agency, where he manages acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure and operational support systems. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for integrated facility services, including construction support, environmental remediation, and mission-critical mechanical systems maintenance. Loyde ensures all procurements align with Department of Defense standards for safety, compliance, and readiness, prioritizing performance-based contracting and lifecycle management approaches to maintain the integrity of defense installations. Loyde maintains a consistent working relationship with XSB INC as the primary contractor for support services, reflecting a stable, performance-driven vendor partnership rooted in reliability and technical proficiency. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term service delivery over transactional procurement, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary solutions across hazardous material handling, facility upgrades, and utility system maintenance. These partnerships are structured to ensure continuous operational readiness with minimal disruption to military missions. Loyde demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his procurements under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5). This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small businesses with the capacity to deliver specialized support services, ensuring broad economic opportunity while maintaining high standards of performance. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility and capability, reinforcing the agency’s socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 561990 — All Other Support Services — encompassing a wide array of specialized support functions including facility maintenance, environmental compliance, hazardous waste management, and infrastructure sustainment. Loyde’s expertise lies in acquiring integrated, non-construction support services essential to the operational continuity of defense facilities, requiring deep technical understanding of DoD regulatory frameworks and performance-based service delivery models.
