Mary Elizabeth Pyle

Mary Elizabeth Pyle serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA6670 914 AW LGC, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure across military installations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facilities maintenance, security systems, and environmental services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational readiness requirements. Her acquisitions support the agency’s core mission of maintaining secure, habitable, and functionally resilient environments for personnel and operations, with a focus on construction, logistical support, and infrastructure modernization efforts. Pyle maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including La Salle Hospitality Inc. and Paradigm Environmental Services, Inc., reflecting a strategic emphasis on specialized service providers in facility operations and environmental compliance. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, performance-based service delivery models, and a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military installation support. These partnerships are often structured under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or requirements-type contracts to ensure responsive, scalable service delivery. A strong advocate for small business participation, Pyle consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with nearly 58% of her awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 8.3% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of the Air Force goals to enhance supplier diversity and build resilient small business ecosystems. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS codes 237120 (oil and gas pipeline construction), 561621 (security systems services), and 237310 (highway and bridge construction), with additional focus on 812320 (drycleaning/laundry) and 332420 (heavy-gauge metal tank manufacturing). This diverse portfolio underscores her ability to manage complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions that support both physical infrastructure and ancillary operational services essential to Air Force installations.
