Ryan Bernaiche

Ryan Bernaiche serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5422 406 AEW Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that enable rapid deployment and operational resilience of expeditionary air forces. He oversees the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and security systems essential for forward-operating bases, ensuring timely delivery of pre-engineered facilities, force protection assets, and logistical enablers in austere environments. His portfolio centers on time-sensitive, mission-driven contracts aligned with Air Force Expeditionary Combat Support requirements, emphasizing speed, scalability, and field-readiness. Bernaiche maintains consistent contracting relationships with Golden Relief Resources Ltd and Hybrid Power International LLC, both of which provide specialized expeditionary solutions including modular shelter systems and hybrid energy generation platforms. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in rapid-deployment infrastructure and field-deployable power systems, often requiring compliance with military environmental and interoperability standards. His contracting approach prioritizes vendors capable of rapid scale-up, field support, and adherence to technical specifications for austere conditions. Bernaiche’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical focus on speed and capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing immediate operational readiness over targeted small business set-asides. While no formal 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are applied, his acquisitions remain compliant with all federal procurement regulations and emphasize vendor performance and delivery timelines. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332311 for prefabricated metal building systems, 332994 for ordnance-related security components, and 561621 for integrated physical security services. He specializes in acquiring hardened command centers, deployable living quarters, perimeter security systems, and power-agnostic infrastructure that supports expeditionary air operations, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military construction standards and force protection protocols.
