Corey Lisenbee

Corey Lisenbee serves as a Contract Specialist with FA4417 1 Socons under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical communications, navigation, and base defense systems that sustain and modernize airpower capabilities. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities in secure wireless infrastructure and integrated operational systems. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical acquisitions for radio and wireless equipment, electromagnetic systems, and defense-grade instrumentation. Lisenbee maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AANTILIA LLC, MARRERO, COUVILLON & ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., MATTHES PARKER LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and WALCO ENTERPRISES INC., all of which have demonstrated reliability in delivering specialized communications hardware, control systems, and mission-enabling technologies. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical fidelity, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery under tight operational timelines. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions (77.1%), Lisenbee actively supports small business participation, with nearly 23% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He demonstrates a deliberate focus on leveraging small business capabilities without reliance on specific socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone, prioritizing technical competency and capacity over certification type. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing), with significant activity in 335314 (relay and industrial control manufacturing) and 339112/339113 (medical and surgical instrumentation). This reflects deep technical expertise in procuring ruggedized, field-deployable systems that support secure air operations, including avionics interfaces, battlefield communication nodes, and electromagnetic control hardware essential to airbase resilience.
