Shauna Lyon

Shauna A. H. Lyon serves as a Contract Negotiator (Specialist), responsible for managing the negotiation, award, and administration of complex federal acquisitions across specialized industrial sectors. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives through strategic sourcing and risk mitigation. Her work centers on high-precision manufacturing and technical product categories, requiring deep familiarity with FAR provisions, technical specifications, and supply chain dynamics. She routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and sealed-bid contracts involving defense-adjacent and industrial goods, ensuring alignment with national security and operational readiness priorities. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Lyon’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers possessing specialized capabilities in explosives, aerospace components, and engineered plastics. Her working relationships emphasize technical proficiency and regulatory compliance, favoring vendors with established quality systems, ITAR/EAR adherence, and robust production controls. She engages both large-tier suppliers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent performance and certification requirements, fostering partnerships grounded in reliability and technical excellence. Lyon’s contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by open competitions, with 91.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a preference for full and open competition based on technical merit. However, she maintains a deliberate 8.7% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but consistent commitment to small business participation without compromising mission needs. Her approach reflects a balanced adherence to socioeconomic goals while prioritizing capability and readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), underscoring expertise in hazardous materials handling and defense-related ordnance systems. Secondary emphasis on 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 332618 (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing) reveals a specialization in aerospace components and precision-engineered metal and polymer assemblies. Her domain knowledge spans advanced materials, safety-critical manufacturing, and defense supply chain logistics.
