Amber D. Lampe

Amber D. Lampe serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in securing and modernizing the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages end-to-end procurement lifecycle activities for mission-critical telecommunications solutions, with a focus on satellite-based systems, secure virtual private networks, and resilient network services that support military and federal operations. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with DISA’s mission to enhance interoperability, sustain high-capacity connectivity, and transition legacy systems to next-generation secure architectures. Lampe maintains consistent procurement relationships with key industry partners including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These contractors provide specialized expertise in satellite telecommunications, fiber-optic backbone deployment, and secure network integration services. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in delivering classified and unclassified telecom solutions under stringent DoD compliance standards, often involving complex performance-based contract structures and service-level agreements. Lampe’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside categories. She does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical capability, operational readiness, and mission-critical performance as the primary selection criteria. This approach ensures rapid deployment of mission-essential capabilities without compromising system integrity or security requirements. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 517410 — Satellite Telecommunications — encompassing the acquisition of space-based communications systems, ground segment infrastructure, bandwidth leasing, and secure satellite modem technologies. She specializes in procuring high-throughput, low-latency satellite services that enable global command and control, intelligence dissemination, and expeditionary communications, demonstrating deep technical fluency in military satellite architecture and spectrum management.
