She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient procurement of mission-critical solutions. Her portfolio primarily includes information technology services, administrative consulting, and health insurance-related contracts, aligning with strategic objectives to modernize operations and enhance service delivery. She leverages full and open competition as the primary acquisition method while strategically applying set-asides to meet socioeconomic goals.

She consistently evaluates vendor capabilities through rigorous source selection criteria, prioritizing technical expertise, past performance, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Lyandra demonstrates a strong preference for full and open competition, with approximately 78.6% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 14.3% of awards to 8(a) competed contracts and 7.1% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a commitment to both efficiency and equitable economic opportunity, aligning with broader federal socioeconomic contracting objectives. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting deep expertise in IT infrastructure and systems integration.
