Ty Moore-Stald

Ty Moore-Stald serves as a key procurement lead within the 4th Combat Communications Squadron (FA4809), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain resilient, secure, and expeditionary communications infrastructure for air operations. Responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical systems, Moore-Stald oversees contracts for advanced radio and broadcast equipment, aircraft subsystems, and specialized cybersecurity-enabled hardware. Their work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring the timely delivery of technically complex communications and electronic systems that support tactical command, control, and intelligence functions in contested environments. Moore-Stald maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Solomon Engineering, Inc., Textron Systems Corporation, and Western Metal Supply Company, Inc., each recognized for their expertise in defense-grade electronics, precision manufacturing, and ruggedized component supply. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in military-specification design, field-deployable systems, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards. The procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based contract management to ensure system interoperability and mission continuity. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Moore-Stald’s contracting strategy, with 80% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to cultivate a diverse supplier base of innovative small firms capable of delivering niche capabilities in communications hardware and electronic subsystems. The focus on socioeconomic contracting aligns with Air Force initiatives to enhance resilience through decentralized, agile sourcing. The primary technical focus lies in NAICS 335999 for miscellaneous electrical components, 334310 for audio and video equipment, 332994 for ordnance accessories, and 333517 for machine tool manufacturing. These categories underscore expertise in procuring ruggedized signal processing units, secure broadcast transceivers, embedded electronic assemblies, and precision-machined components critical to airborne and expeditionary communication systems.
