Johnny Lyons

Johnny Lyons serves as a key procurement lead within Region 6: Emergency Preparedness A under the Federal Emergency Management Agency, supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to ensure rapid operational readiness for disaster response and recovery. He manages a portfolio of time-sensitive acquisitions focused on temporary infrastructure, logistical support, and essential services critical to stabilizing communities during emergencies. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for mission-critical services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing speed, scalability, and mission alignment in high-stress operational environments. Lyons collaborates with a diverse base of contractors specializing in emergency response infrastructure and facilities support, with particular emphasis on firms capable of mobilizing rapidly under dynamic conditions. While no specific vendor relationships are currently identified, his procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with electrical contractors and facilities support service providers who can deliver modular, deployable solutions under urgent timelines. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting, with an emphasis on pre-qualified vendors capable of meeting stringent deployment standards and safety protocols. Lyons demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal weighting between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation without compromising operational tempo, aligning with DHS goals to foster resilient, community-based supply chains. His approach supports broad-based small business engagement without preference for specific socioeconomic categories, promoting competition while ensuring capacity to meet emergency demands. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors), reflecting a strong demand for temporary power systems, lighting, and electrical infrastructure in emergency shelters and field operations. He also regularly procures facilities support services under NAICS 561210, including sanitation, hygiene, and waste management solutions. His technical expertise centers on deployable, modular systems that meet FEMA’s operational specifications for disaster-affected environments.
