Edward (Pete) Lyke

Edward G. Lyke serves as a Contract Specialist within the 241-NETWORK Contract Office 01 (36C241) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements for critical healthcare infrastructure and electromedical systems. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and facility support systems, ensuring alignment with VA’s mission to deliver safe, reliable, and technologically advanced care to veterans. Lyke specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under FAR and VA-specific acquisition regulations, with a focus on high-precision medical devices and environmental control systems essential to VA medical center operations. Lyke maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, P.D.S. CONSULTANTS, INC., L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and SOUTH MIDDLESEX OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in medical facility upgrades, analytical instrumentation support, and service-based technical consulting. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and performance history, fostering long-term collaborations grounded in quality and accountability. His contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) accounting for one-third of his awards, demonstrating a deliberate focus on veteran-centric small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted, Lyke consistently prioritizes SDVOSB eligibility in competitive set-asides, aligning with VA’s statutory mandate to promote veteran-owned enterprise. Lyke’s technical domain centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring clinical-grade equipment for operating rooms, laboratories, and patient care environments.
