Lauryn Setzer

Lauryn Setzer serves as a primary procurement lead for the FA3300 42 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the educational and operational infrastructure of Air University. In this role, she manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on modernizing training environments, enhancing audiovisual and communication systems, and maintaining mission-critical facilities. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts aligned with Air Force readiness objectives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing innovation in instructional technology and facility modernization. She works closely with technical stakeholders to translate mission needs into enforceable contract requirements, often coordinating complex procurements involving both hardware and integrated services. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Setzer’s procurement patterns suggest engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, including firms specializing in simulation technologies, AV integration, and facility construction. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding and vendor diversity, fostering partnerships with both large-capability contractors and agile small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical solutions under tight operational timelines. Setzer demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 45% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. Her contracting patterns indicate minimal use of other socioeconomic set-asides, favoring broad small business eligibility over niche categories, which supports workforce development and regional economic resilience. Her primary NAICS focus includes 713990 for recreational and training simulation systems, 237110 for infrastructure upgrades to educational facilities, and niche categories such as office furniture and toy manufacturing—reflecting the unique blend of instructional, recreational, and operational needs at Air University. This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring non-traditional defense goods and services that enhance learning environments through immersive, human-centered technologies.
