Riley J. Silver

Riley J. Silver serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4460 19 Cons Pka unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure support contracts critical to Air Force installation readiness. Their role centers on executing acquisition strategies that ensure operational continuity through maintenance, construction, and utility system upgrades, with a focus on airfield, roadway, and environmental infrastructure. Silver handles a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, prioritizing performance-based contracting methods to align vendor deliverables with mission-critical facility standards. They maintain consistent contracting relationships with DREW INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, both of which provide specialized maintenance, construction, and facility services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in industrial repair, site infrastructure upgrades, and environmental compliance, indicating a pattern of awarding task orders to established contractors with demonstrated capacity for complex, multi-year installation support. Silver’s procurement portfolio is entirely dedicated to Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, reflecting a 100% commitment to small business participation. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic resilience within the defense industrial base by prioritizing small firms capable of delivering niche facility services, without reliance on large prime contractors or subcontracting hierarchies. The primary NAICS focus areas include 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, 611710 for educational support services, 321113 for sawmills, and 314110 for carpet and rug mills. These reflect a unique blend of facility maintenance, base community support, and specialized material supply needs—demonstrating technical expertise in non-traditional defense procurement domains that support both operational and quality-of-life infrastructure across Air Force installations.
