CPT Lewis maintains longstanding relationships with a diverse set of prime contractors, including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a mix of U.S.-based firms and international vendors capable of delivering specialized technical services and equipment in austere environments.

CPT Lewis’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations.
