Lori A Lloyd

Lori A. Lloyd serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of complex aerospace and avionics systems. In this role, she leads negotiations, evaluates technical proposals, and ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations to support mission-critical defense and aviation requirements. Her work is central to securing reliable, high-performance components for national aerospace systems, with a focus on finalizing contracts that balance technical excellence, schedule adherence, and cost-effectiveness. She typically handles sole-source and competitive procurements for specialized aircraft subsystems, ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals and regulatory standards. Lloyd collaborates with a network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers specializing in precision manufacturing and advanced avionics integration. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent engagement with firms possessing certified manufacturing capabilities in aircraft components and auxiliary systems. Her negotiation style emphasizes technical validation, supply chain resilience, and contractual clarity, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on performance accountability and compliance with quality assurance protocols such as AS9100 and ITAR. Lloyd’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission-critical procurement needs that require specialized technical expertise not readily available among small business vendors in this domain. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures that all procurements meet stringent performance and certification benchmarks regardless of vendor size. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336413, covering other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, with secondary emphasis on aircraft engine components (336412) and aircraft manufacturing (336411). She routinely procures flight control systems, avionics housings, sensor interfaces, and mission-critical instrumentation, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace engineering standards and DoD procurement requirements. Her expertise centers on ensuring the reliability and interoperability of subsystems critical to national aerospace platforms.
