Tilson H. Dyer Sr

Tilson Dyer serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM MICC-FDO at Fort Sam Houston, supporting the U.S. Army’s mission to sustain installation readiness through strategic acquisition of base services and infrastructure solutions. Responsible for managing a portfolio of mission-critical contracts, Dyer specializes in facilities support and dining services acquisitions that ensure operational continuity across military garrisons. Their work directly enables force readiness by securing reliable, compliant, and scalable services essential to daily garrison functions, including maintenance, janitorial, groundskeeping, and food service operations, all aligned with Department of the Army standards and regulatory frameworks. Dyer maintains a consistent working relationship with VETPRIDE SERVICES, INC., a primary contractor delivering integrated facilities and dining support across multiple Army installations. The procurement pattern reflects a preference for long-term, performance-based service contracts with vendors capable of meeting stringent military operational requirements. These partnerships are characterized by collaborative contract administration, rigorous performance monitoring, and a focus on continuous service improvement under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and basic ordering agreement (BOA) structures. A strong commitment to socioeconomic goals defines Dyer’s contracting approach, with 75% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 25% competitively awarded to 8(a) participants. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses while ensuring robust competition and mission-critical service delivery. The consistent use of 8(a) set-asides underscores a dedication to fostering long-term small business capacity within the defense support sector. Dyer’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing custodial, grounds maintenance, and facility management, and NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), covering galley operations and dining facility support. Their expertise lies in acquiring complex, labor-intensive services requiring strict compliance with military hygiene, safety, and readiness standards, ensuring that garrison infrastructure remains fully functional and mission-ready at all times.
