Kyle (2dLt) G. Ingram

Kyle (2dLt) G. Ingram serves as a Contracting Buyer responsible for executing complex acquisitions across diverse technical domains to support federal operational requirements. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while managing the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. His acquisitions primarily involve specialized equipment and components requiring technical precision, positioning him as a key enabler of mission-critical capabilities within his organization. He routinely handles both commercial and non-developmental item procurements, often navigating intricate supply chains for niche manufacturing sectors. While specific contractor names are not available, Ingram’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a broad base of suppliers, including manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and specialty vendors capable of meeting exacting technical specifications. His working relationships emphasize reliability, regulatory compliance, and responsiveness to evolving mission needs, fostering a vendor ecosystem that balances performance with accountability. He maintains a results-driven approach to contract management, prioritizing timely delivery and quality assurance across all awarded actions. Ingram demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 18.2% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions are open to full and open competition, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access and promote socioeconomic diversity among vendors. He does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but his focus on total small business eligibility aligns with broader agency goals for inclusive contracting. His procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories, with primary emphasis on Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (336413), reflecting expertise in aerospace components. He also regularly procures construction and mining machinery (423810), non-wood office furniture (337214), irradiation apparatus (334517), and publishing-related services (511210). This technical breadth underscores his ability to manage high-complexity acquisitions across industrial and institutional domains, combining deep regulatory knowledge with domain-specific procurement acumen.
