Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach between large-capability firms and small business competitors, fostering an environment of fair and open competition. She maintains collaborative relationships with industry stakeholders through pre-solicitation outreach, industry days, and market surveys to ensure requirements are well-defined and achievable. Lyandra demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement strategy prioritizes opportunities for small businesses without relying on specialized set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a preference for broad-based small business inclusion across the competitive landscape. This approach supports broader agency goals of economic opportunity and innovation through diversified vendor participation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting deep expertise in enterprise IT architecture, software development lifecycles, and systems integration. She routinely procures solutions involving cloud-enabled platforms, secure application development, data analytics infrastructure, and IT modernization initiatives, demonstrating technical fluency in contemporary digital service delivery models.
