Dwayne Q. Lyons

Dwayne Q. Lyons serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining aerospace and space-based defense systems. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical infrastructure, including guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning system sustainment. His responsibilities encompass solicitation development, contract negotiation, compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations, and post-award oversight to ensure operational readiness of national defense assets. Lyons plays a pivotal role in translating technical requirements into executable contracts that support the agency’s strategic modernization goals. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available for public disclosure, Lyons consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors qualified to support complex aerospace and space systems sustainment. His contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with firms possessing specialized technical expertise in navigation, command and control, and space-based communications, fostering long-term partnerships that align with mission-critical performance standards. Lyons demonstrates a strong, unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB concerns, to contribute meaningfully to national defense sustainment efforts. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic equity while maintaining rigorous performance and compliance standards. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists) and 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), suggesting a potential misclassification or administrative anomaly in data reporting. Given the agency’s mission, these codes are inconsistent with the technical domain of aerospace sustainment, indicating a need for NAICS code review or data correction. Lyons’ actual technical expertise lies in procuring advanced defense systems, and any deviation in NAICS assignment should be addressed to ensure accurate representation of his procurement portfolio.
