Maureen Tyler

Maureen E. Tyler serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across defense and industrial equipment sectors. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering competition, and delivering mission-critical capabilities through timely and lawful contract actions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses high-value industrial and aerospace components, including aircraft subsystems, material handling systems, and specialized machinery. Tyler oversees full lifecycle contracting processes—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring alignment with operational requirements and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers and suppliers in the aerospace and industrial equipment domains. She maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications for precision-engineered parts and systems. Her approach emphasizes performance-based acquisition strategies and robust source selection criteria to ensure quality, reliability, and mission readiness. Tyler demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 85.9% of her awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on maximizing technical capability and value. Nevertheless, she actively supports socioeconomic goals, allocating 9.4% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with additional support for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (3.1%) and HUBZone firms (1.6%). This balanced approach underscores her commitment to both mission effectiveness and equitable economic opportunity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 333924 (Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in aerospace subsystems and material handling systems. She routinely procures specialized components such as flight control actuators, automated lifting equipment, and industrial conveyance systems, requiring technical fluency in mechanical engineering standards and defense supply chain protocols.
