Ryan Lambert

Ryan Lambert supports the operational and morale-enhancing missions of the 11th Contracting Squadron within the Department of the Air Force by managing a diverse portfolio of procurement actions focused on facilities support, ceremonial equipment, and base infrastructure services. He plays a critical role in ensuring the sustainment of Air Force bands, public engagement events, and daily operational readiness through timely and compliant acquisition of mission-enabling goods and services. His work directly aligns with the squadron’s mandate to enhance quality of life and public outreach by securing specialized contracts that support non-combat, yet essential, Air Force functions. Lambert maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., ADVANTOR SYSTEMS CORPORATION, and LORTON STONE, LLC, reflecting a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in environmental services, technical systems integration, and specialized construction materials. His contracting patterns indicate a balanced approach—leveraging both large-capacity vendors for complex requirements and small businesses for niche, labor-intensive tasks—demonstrating a pragmatic, performance-driven vendor engagement strategy. His procurement strategy exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with 40% of awards structured as 8(a) competed set-asides and an additional 20% designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster small business growth while maintaining competitive rigor. The remaining 40% of acquisitions are open to all competitors, indicating a flexible, mission-first approach that prioritizes capability over socioeconomic status when necessary. Lambert’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with significant activity in janitorial services (561720), construction machinery (333120), and commercial equipment leasing (532411). He specializes in procuring maintenance support, ground equipment, and infrastructure-related services critical to sustaining ceremonial and base operations, demonstrating deep expertise in non-tactical, morale-focused acquisition domains within the Air Force ecosystem.
