Christine M. Lewis

Christine M. Lewis serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency-specific policies, while supporting mission-critical technology initiatives. Her acquisitions primarily involve complex electronics manufacturing contracts requiring technical diligence, risk assessment, and rigorous source selection procedures under sealed bidding and negotiated processes. She works closely with technical stakeholders to define performance-based requirements and ensure contract deliverables align with operational needs. Christine collaborates with a broad range of industry partners specializing in electronic computer manufacturing, including prime contractors, systems integrators, and component suppliers. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing demonstrated capability in designing, assembling, and testing advanced computing hardware and embedded systems. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical compliance, performance accountability, and transparent communication throughout contract execution. She actively participates in pre-solicitation outreach to foster competition and ensure market readiness. Christine’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a deliberate strategy to maximize competition among qualified vendors without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize small business set-asides, her approach ensures fair and open access for all eligible contractors, maintaining compliance with the principle of full and open competition under FAR 6.101. Her primary focus is on NAICS 334111 — Electronic Computer Manufacturing — encompassing the procurement of desktops, servers, workstations, and specialized computing hardware. She specializes in acquiring systems requiring high reliability, cybersecurity compliance, and custom configurations for government use. Her technical expertise lies in evaluating specifications for processing architecture, memory subsystems, data security features, and supply chain integrity, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent federal standards for performance and resilience.
