Richard M. Lusby

Richard M. Lusby serves as a key procurement professional within the W7N1 USPFO Activity Tnang 134, operating under the Department of the Army, where he manages acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for construction and facility support services that directly enhance force protection, garrison readiness, and secure operational environments. He routinely handles complex construction and engineering procurements under FAR Part 36, ensuring compliance with military standards for durability, security, and mission continuity. His portfolio is centered on mission-critical infrastructure projects that require coordination with engineering, logistics, and environmental compliance teams. Lusby maintains consistent working relationships with established construction firms including P & W Construction Company, LLC and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which have demonstrated reliability in delivering secure, high-integrity facility upgrades. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced general contractors with proven track records in military-grade construction, often partnering with vendors capable of integrating secure communications systems and hardened structural elements. These relationships are characterized by long-term performance trust and adherence to stringent DoD quality and safety protocols. His procurement strategy emphasizes robust small business participation, with over half of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He also regularly utilizes 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While the majority of awards support small businesses, he balances this with non-set-aside procurements to ensure access to specialized capabilities when required, demonstrating a nuanced approach to competition and capability alignment. Lusby’s primary focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where he oversees the design and build of secure military facilities. He also procures specialized electrical and civil engineering services to support infrastructure resilience. His technical domain expertise centers on constructing and upgrading mission-critical environments that meet Army installation standards for security, utility, and operational continuity.
