Lori A. Riley serves as a Contracting Officer for FA4830 23 Cons Cc within the Department of the Air Force, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and support services essential to airborne readiness and base operational sustainability.

She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Ardmore Consulting Group, Inc., Machine Tool Marketing Inc., GovAge, Inc., Dark Waters Enterprising, LLC, and TestForce USA, Inc.

Riley demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward HUBZone set-asides.

Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate alignment with federal small business goals and a strong preference for HUBZone-certified vendors with proven track records in defense-related infrastructure work. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where she specializes in procuring complex HVAC installations, ventilation systems, and facility retrofitting services critical to maintaining operational environments for sensitive military equipment and personnel. Her expertise lies in managing technically intricate, high-reliability contracts that support the enduring functionality of Air Force bases under demanding operational conditions.
