Lance Schricke

Lance Schricke serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4887 56 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical Air Force infrastructure and operational readiness. His role centers on executing contracts for industrial maintenance, facility operations, and specialized ground support services essential to airfield and hangar functionality. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—with a focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. His portfolio is narrowly defined by the agency’s operational imperatives, requiring precision in sourcing services that directly support aviation readiness and installation resilience. Schricke maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Arkose Group LLC, Silver National Corp., Blazing Aviation LLC, and Mach 2 Productions Inc., all of which provide specialized maintenance, construction, and aviation support services. These partnerships are characterized by recurring contract awards and deep technical alignment with the agency’s infrastructure needs. His procurement approach favors vendors with proven experience in aviation-adjacent industrial services, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and rapid response capabilities essential to mission continuity. A defining feature of Schricke’s contracting strategy is his exclusive use of the SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) program set-aside, with 100% of his acquisitions reserved for this socioeconomic category. This reflects a deliberate and institutionalized commitment to advancing equity in federal contracting while leveraging the specialized capabilities of qualified small businesses. His pattern demonstrates strong alignment with federal socioeconomic goals and a strategic preference for vendor diversity within the EDWOSB framework. His procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), which in this context encompasses more than aesthetic groundskeeping—it includes turf management, drainage infrastructure maintenance, erosion control, and vegetation systems critical to airfield safety and environmental compliance. This specialization underscores his expertise in interpreting infrastructure needs through the lens of operational sustainability rather than traditional landscaping, requiring technical understanding of DoD environmental standards and aviation safety protocols.
