Patrick T. Lyons

Patrick T. Lyons serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica, a critical acquisition unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining combat systems and enabling force projection through logistics and munitions supply chains. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting defense manufacturing, facility services, and operational infrastructure, ensuring the readiness of military installations and ammunition production capabilities. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic modernization priorities by facilitating timely and compliant acquisition of mission-critical goods and services across technical and logistical domains. Lyons maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, among others. These partnerships span high-complexity defense manufacturing, facility maintenance, and specialized technical services, reflecting a preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven capability in military-grade systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and risk mitigation through structured contract vehicles and rigorous vendor evaluation. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in contracting, Lyons consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over half of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged firms, aligning with Department of Defense mandates while enhancing competition and innovation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), indicating significant investment in installation lodging and quality-of-life infrastructure, alongside specialized services under NAICS 541519 (other computer-related services) and 541611 (management consulting). This blend of facility support and technical advisory services underscores his expertise in integrating operational readiness with sustainment logistics, ensuring both soldier welfare and mission-critical system integrity.
