Lori A Riley

Lori A. Riley serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, infrastructure, and specialized manufacturing contracts, with a focus on delivering high-integrity, competitively awarded solutions that meet technical and regulatory standards. Riley’s work supports complex public works and facility-related projects, requiring deep familiarity with construction specifications, safety protocols, and performance-based contracting methodologies. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including general contractors, electrical subcontractors, hardware manufacturers, and materials recovery specialists. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, emphasizing transparency, competitive bidding, and performance accountability. Her approach prioritizes fair and open competition while leveraging small business capabilities to enhance innovation and local economic impact. Riley demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 43% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides. She routinely utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, alongside 8(a) competed contracts, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences. Her balanced allocation across these categories reflects a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access to federal opportunities while maintaining robust competition and value delivery. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in electrical contracting (238210), hardware manufacturing (332510), oil and gas pipeline construction (237120), and materials recovery facilities (562920). This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring integrated infrastructure solutions, from structural build-outs to environmental compliance systems, requiring coordination across multiple technical disciplines and regulatory frameworks.
