Lyle Perez

Lyle Perez serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NY Uspfo Activity Ri Arng, a critical support element of the Department of the Army focused on sustaining Army National Guard readiness. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. His acquisitions primarily support quality-of-life infrastructure and operational sustainment, including lodging, food services, and specialized equipment procurement essential to unit readiness. Perez plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with the agency’s mission to maintain functional barracks, dining facilities, and tactical support systems for National Guard forces across multiple domains. Perez maintains a consistent working relationship with Allied Imperium Global, Inc., a primary contractor delivering integrated support services across lodging and food operations. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and clear deliverables, often involving task order modifications and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. He collaborates closely with vendors to ensure service quality, compliance with military standards, and responsiveness to dynamic operational needs, fostering a reliable supply chain for mission-critical amenities. A strong advocate for small business participation, Perez consistently prioritizes set-asides under FAR 19.5, with over 43% of awards designated for total small business set-asides and nearly 5% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand socioeconomic opportunities while maintaining competitive integrity, balancing broad market engagement with targeted outreach to certified small and disadvantaged businesses. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels) and 311991 (perishable prepared food manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in managing hospitality and galley operations for military installations. He also procures specialized metal containers and aircraft components to support logistical and maintenance functions, demonstrating technical fluency across both service and light manufacturing sectors critical to garrison sustainability.
