Tyson Wills

Tyson Wills serves as a key procurement professional within the 355th Contracting Squadron (FA4877) of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain aerospace readiness and base operational continuity. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning aircraft components, avionics systems, facility maintenance, and mission-enabling infrastructure, ensuring timely delivery of goods and services critical to airpower sustainment. His work directly supports the squadron’s mandate to maintain operational tempo through agile, compliant acquisition practices aligned with FAR and Air Force-specific procurement directives. Wills maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MILLER ELECTRIC COMPANY INC., ATLANTIC PACIFIC STANDARD LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, BSE PERFORMANCE, LLC, and LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing—engaging both specialized industrial suppliers and technical service providers to meet unique operational needs. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical precision, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear statement of work definitions and rigorous contract administration. A strong advocate for small business participation, Wills prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his awards designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while tapping into niche capabilities often held by agile, locally-based firms. His contracting patterns show minimal reliance on unrestricted awards, underscoring a sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals and diverse supplier engagement. His primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 812310 (coin-operated laundries and drycleaners), 532210 (consumer electronics and appliances rental), and 541512 (computer systems design services). While seemingly unconventional for a military contracting office, these categories support critical quality-of-life and infrastructure services for base personnel, as well as the integration of commercial-off-the-shelf technologies into operational environments. Wills demonstrates nuanced expertise in adapting commercial solutions to military requirements, bridging civilian markets with defense readiness objectives.
