Tyler Frank

Tyler Frank serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and solicitation to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering specialized engineering and manufacturing solutions. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements for mechanical power systems, engine components, and industrial HVAC equipment, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes. Frank routinely handles competitive sealed bids, negotiated contracts, and simplified acquisitions under the micro-purchase and simplified acquisition thresholds, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical hardware and support services. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Frank’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers and suppliers possessing specialized capabilities in engine systems, power transmission, and motor vehicle component production. He works with a mix of large primes and small businesses, emphasizing technical qualification, past performance, and regulatory compliance over vendor size alone. His contracting approach prioritizes market research and fair competition, fostering transparent and efficient vendor partnerships across the industrial supply chain. Frank demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 92.1% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical merit and cost-effectiveness. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 7.1% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a modest but consistent allocation to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This balance underscores his commitment to socioeconomic goals while maintaining mission readiness through broad-based competition. His primary NAICS focus areas include 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), 336310 (Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine Manufacturing), and 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in mechanical and thermal systems for defense, transportation, and industrial applications. He procures precision-engineered components, auxiliary power units, and industrial climate control systems, requiring familiarity with military specifications, quality assurance protocols, and supply chain resilience standards.
