Lance Holmes

Lance Holmes serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, supporting mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness through the acquisition of specialized facility, medical, and technical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aimed at sustaining Air Force installations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing modernization goals in communications, medical support, and facility maintenance. His acquisitions typically involve service-based contracts requiring technical oversight, performance-based outcomes, and strict adherence to DoD standards for operational continuity and safety. Holmes maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility operations, IT support, and niche service delivery. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, past performance, and compliance over competitive bidding alone, fostering long-term vendor relationships that align with the agency’s sustained operational needs. While the majority of his acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted without set-asides, he consistently allocates 16.7% of contract opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His approach balances mission efficiency with statutory small business goals, ensuring broad vendor access while maintaining procurement agility. His primary NAICS focus is on 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), reflecting institutional support needs for uniform and facility hygiene, followed by 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) for IT infrastructure and systems support, and 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists) for morale, welfare, and recreation programs. This unique blend underscores his role in procuring both essential operational services and quality-of-life support critical to Air Force readiness.
