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 and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions for mission-critical platforms including guided missile systems, satellite communications, and global positioning infrastructure. His expertise lies in executing complex, technically demanding contracts that ensure operational readiness of national defense assets, with a focus on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and risk mitigation in high-stakes aerospace environments. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in the available data, Lyons consistently engages with a broad spectrum of vendors aligned with the agency’s technological and logistical needs. His procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with firms capable of delivering specialized engineering, systems integration, and sustainment services for space and missile platforms, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance, innovation, and regulatory adherence. Lyons demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic emphasis on empowering small businesses to contribute to national defense capabilities, ensuring broad participation from 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms without exception. His contracting patterns prioritize equitable access and capacity building within the small business community. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists) and 611710 (Educational Support Services), which, while atypical for aerospace sustainment, suggest potential misclassification or unique programmatic needs such as training simulations, public outreach, or ceremonial support tied to missile and space system deployments. Further clarification is warranted, but his technical domain expertise clearly aligns with the sustainment of advanced defense systems and mission-critical infrastructure.
