Kevin Lloyd

Kevin Lloyd serves as a primary contracting lead within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1), where he manages mission-critical acquisitions supporting the nation’s defense against weapons of mass destruction. His responsibilities include executing complex procurements for scientific research, technical analysis, and operational support systems aimed at detecting, deterring, and neutralizing chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive threats. Lloyd specializes in acquiring advanced analytical tools, threat intelligence platforms, and logistics support services that align with HDTRA1’s strategic imperatives in national security science and emergency response readiness. He maintains enduring partnerships with leading technical and scientific contractors including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These relationships reflect a preference for high-capability firms capable of delivering specialized R&D, systems integration, cloud-based data analytics, and expeditionary support services. Lloyd consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in defense science, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission-critical logistics, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in technical rigor and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. His procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 80% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions, while 20% are competitively awarded to 8(a) certified small businesses. This balance indicates a strategic emphasis on access to elite technical capabilities while maintaining a structured commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, particularly through the 8(a) program for disadvantaged firms with relevant domain expertise. Lloyd’s primary NAICS focus areas—621399, 488999, and 541611—reflect an unconventional but mission-aligned procurement profile centered on administrative and management consulting, transportation support services, and specialized health practitioner services. These categories support HDTRA1’s need for agile operational logistics, expeditionary medical readiness, and high-level program management, underscoring his expertise in aligning non-traditional contracting vehicles with complex defense science objectives.
