Ryan P. Cope

Ryan P. Cope supports the FA3022 14 Cons Lgca under the Department of the Air Force, managing procurement activities critical to sustaining and modernizing Air Force infrastructure. He oversees the acquisition of construction, engineering, and technical services essential to maintaining mission-ready facilities, with a focus on life-safety systems, HVAC upgrades, and operational support infrastructure. His work ensures compliance with federal standards while advancing base resilience and long-term readiness through strategic contracting decisions aligned with Air Force installation modernization priorities. Cope maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including DOMINGUEZ & PERSONS, LLC, WEST BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION INC, AIR CONTROL ENGINEERING INC, WESTNET, LLC, and THE STATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in facility construction, environmental systems, and integrated technical support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging proven vendors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent DoD compliance frameworks. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions, Cope demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of contracts set aside for Total Small Business under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand opportunities for qualified small contractors without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His procurement portfolio is concentrated in five primary NAICS categories: Engineering Services (541330), Other Computer Related Services (541519), Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334290), Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesalers (423430), and Educational Support Services (611710). These reflect a technical focus on facility automation, networked communication systems, IT infrastructure, and specialized support services essential to modern Air Force operations.
