Robert E. Lloyd

Robert E. Lloyd serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and construction domains. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing competitive procurements that align with agency mission needs. His portfolio primarily involves sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under Part 12 and Part 14 procedures, with a strong emphasis on commercial item acquisitions and construction services. Lloyd’s work supports critical infrastructure and technology modernization initiatives, requiring precise contract administration, risk mitigation, and stakeholder coordination to deliver mission-critical capabilities on schedule and within regulatory bounds. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to data limitations, Lloyd’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with a broad base of commercial vendors, including manufacturers of communications equipment, analytical instruments, and construction firms. His contracting approach reflects a preference for open competition, with minimal reliance on sole-source or limited-source actions, indicating a commitment to market fairness and transparency. Vendor partnerships are typically formed through full and open solicitations, with an emphasis on performance-based outcomes and clear deliverables. Lloyd demonstrates a strong but selective commitment to small business participation, with 11.3% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not frequently utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his consistent use of total small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition among small firms without compromising acquisition efficiency. His approach prioritizes market readiness and capability over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with agency priorities for timely and effective procurement outcomes. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting significant activity in facility upgrades and infrastructure development. He also regularly acquires products under NAICS 334220 (broadcast and wireless equipment) and 334516 (analytical laboratory instruments), indicating expertise in procuring complex technical systems for scientific and communications applications. His domain knowledge spans construction project management, electronic manufacturing, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology integration.
