Shauna A. H. Lyon

Shauna A. H. Lyon serves as a Contract Negotiator (Specialist), responsible for managing the negotiation, award, and administration of complex procurement actions across technical and engineering domains. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing and risk-mitigated contract structures. Her acquisitions primarily involve high-precision technical services and specialized manufacturing, requiring deep subject-matter expertise in engineering systems, electronic instrumentation, and advanced materials. Lyon plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement outcomes with agency operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of mission-enabling capabilities through competitive and transparent contracting processes. While specific contractor names are not available, Lyon maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships spanning engineering firms, precision manufacturers, and electronics assembly specialists. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, technical validation, and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables meet stringent quality and compliance standards. She engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative environments that prioritize accountability, innovation, and supply chain resilience. Lyon’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 16.7% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a balanced approach—prioritizing market competitiveness while actively enabling small business entry into technical procurement streams, without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Measurement), and NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), with additional emphasis on printed circuit assembly (334418) and specialty plastics manufacturing (326199). She routinely acquires custom test equipment, electronic subsystems, and engineered solutions for scientific, defense, and industrial applications, demonstrating technical fluency in analog/digital systems, signal conditioning, and advanced materials fabrication.
