Riley maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, N2GRATE GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC, and AZTEK COMPUTERS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of construction, transportation, IT infrastructure, and specialized equipment supply capabilities. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on vendors demonstrating proven technical competence and reliability in delivering complex, mission-critical solutions under stringent security and operational standards. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation.
