Jessica B.Lyall

Jessica B. Lyall serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264), a Department of the Navy organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing naval warfighting capabilities. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical technology systems, with a focus on computer systems design, tactical computing environments, and cyber-enabled decision support services. Her portfolio centers on integrating advanced command and control architectures, sensor networks, and secure communication platforms to enhance operational readiness. Lyall ensures acquisitions align with naval modernization priorities by leveraging systems engineering expertise and lifecycle support contracts to deliver scalable, interoperable solutions for fleet-wide deployment. Lyall maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These vendors are routinely engaged for their deep technical proficiency in systems integration, software development for tactical environments, and mission-critical IT services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven experience in defense-grade cybersecurity, real-time data processing, and embedded systems engineering, indicating a reliance on trusted, technically capable partners rather than broad competition. Lyall’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission effectiveness and system interoperability above targeted small business participation. While no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are utilized, her approach ensures access to the broadest pool of qualified technical providers capable of meeting stringent DoN performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), accounting for two-thirds of her portfolio, with additional activity in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). She routinely procures custom software development, systems integration, cybersecurity architecture, and technical support services for naval command systems, tactical computing platforms, and sensor data fusion applications, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-oriented IT modernization.
