Kyra Blystone

Kyra Blystone serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical missile field and launch facility infrastructure. Her work directly supports the Air Force’s nuclear deterrence mission by ensuring the operational readiness of remote, high-security installations through the acquisition of specialized communications, security, and maintenance services. She handles complex, mission-critical contracts requiring stringent compliance with defense standards, often involving hardened infrastructure, secure communications systems, and technical maintenance for classified environments. Blystone maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including OLGOONIK SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS, LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and SAFEWARE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade telecommunications, cybersecurity systems, and industrial maintenance for remote facilities. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on firms capable of delivering integrated solutions across physical security, wireless communications, and facility sustainment, often under tight operational timelines and high-security protocols. A strong advocate for small business participation, Blystone directs over half of her acquisitions—57.1%—toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient small business industrial base within the defense support sector. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enable niche vendors to contribute to mission-critical capabilities, aligning with broader DoD goals for equitable access and innovation. Her primary NAICS focus centers on 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment, with significant activity in 561621 for security systems services and 811310 for industrial machinery repair. She also frequently procures custom computer programming and testing laboratory services, demonstrating deep technical expertise in securing and maintaining hardened command, control, and communication systems essential to nuclear deterrence operations.
