Tyran Cooper

SrA Tyran Cooper supports the procurement mission of FA4528 5 Cons within the Department of the Air Force, facilitating acquisitions critical to the sustainment and modernization of military infrastructure. Though formally unclassified, his role centers on managing construction-related contracts for facility systems integration, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing services, as well as structural construction for institutional and industrial facilities. He ensures compliance with Air Force installation readiness standards by overseeing the full lifecycle of service and construction contracts, aligning procurement actions with operational requirements for mission-critical infrastructure. Cooper maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor engaged in site development and facility construction services. His procurement approach emphasizes reliable, performance-based vendor partnerships, often favoring contractors with proven expertise in military-grade construction and infrastructure rehabilitation. These relationships are cultivated through transparent solicitation processes and rigorous contract administration, ensuring timely delivery of mission-supporting facilities. A strong advocate for small business participation, Cooper prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 75% of his acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the defense industrial base while enhancing competition and innovation. His contracting patterns consistently align with socioeconomic goals, minimizing no-set-aside awards and reinforcing the agency’s commitment to inclusive procurement practices. His technical focus spans NAICS codes including 336214 (Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing), 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), and 337920 (Blind and Shade Manufacturing). While seemingly diverse, these reflect niche requirements for specialized equipment, environmental controls, and facility components essential to Air Force installations, demonstrating expertise in integrating non-traditional construction-related technologies into military infrastructure programs.
