Robert L Lieder

Robert L. Lieder serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA4800 633 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain airfield operations, base infrastructure, and IT resilience. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning technical services, facility support, and information technology systems, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities. His work directly supports operational readiness through the acquisition of hardware, software, and specialized services essential to maintaining secure and efficient installation environments. Lieder maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including IMAGE BUSINESS INTERIORS LLC and NEXTGRADE INC, both of which provide specialized facility and IT infrastructure solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors capable of delivering integrated, scalable systems that meet stringent military standards for cybersecurity and physical resilience. He frequently engages with firms possessing proven track records in delivering turnkey solutions for mission-critical environments, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Lieder prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He also consistently awards contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified disadvantaged and veteran-led firms. His procurement patterns demonstrate a balanced approach that meets operational needs while advancing Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. His technical focus centers on NAICS categories including 423430 for computer and peripheral equipment procurement, 541511 for custom computer programming services, and 238330 for flooring and facility infrastructure work. These reflect his expertise in acquiring mission-enabling goods and services—from IT hardware and software development to facility maintenance—that directly support the Air Force’s operational and environmental sustainment objectives.
