Lusby serves as a key procurement lead within the W7N1 USPFO Activity Tnang 134, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining and modernizing mission-critical military infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, communications, and facility support acquisitions aligned with force protection and garrison readiness objectives. His work ensures the delivery of secure, resilient facilities and integrated operational systems, with a focus on commercial and institutional building construction, secure communications hardware, and related infrastructure components.

Lusby maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors including P&W Construction Company, LLC and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which have demonstrated expertise in military-grade construction and site development. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in Department of Defense facility projects, including compliance with UFC standards and secure construction protocols. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality assurance, and adherence to military engineering specifications. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lusby consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with over 68% of his awards designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition, enhance local economic resilience, and leverage the agility of small firms in delivering specialized construction and technical services. His contracting patterns align with broader Army initiatives to expand socioeconomic opportunities while maintaining mission-critical standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, complemented by targeted acquisitions in 334220 and 334310 for secure radio, television, and audio-visual communications equipment. He also sources electrical and industrial equipment through merchant wholesalers under NAICS 423610 and 423830.
