Dennis R. Lisbon

Dennis R. Lisbon serves as a Contract Specialist at the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center (N40027), where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts under NAICS 336611, he oversees acquisitions for ship repair, dry-docking, structural overhauls, and hull and machinery modernization. His work directly supports the agency’s core mission of extending the service life and combat readiness of naval vessels through technical, engineering, and industrial base contracting. Lisbon ensures compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while coordinating with technical representatives, program managers, and shipyard personnel to align contract requirements with operational needs. Lisbon maintains professional relationships with a broad spectrum of defense industrial base contractors specializing in naval vessel maintenance and repair. He engages with shipyards, marine engineering firms, and specialized vendors providing fabrication, welding, electrical systems integration, and corrosion control services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and timely delivery to meet stringent fleet readiness timelines. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently collaborates with experienced maritime contractors capable of executing complex, high-scope work in constrained shipyard environments. Lisbon’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued as non-set-aside contracts. This indicates a focus on maximizing industrial capacity and technical capability rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the scale and urgency of naval maintenance requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his current pattern, his awards remain accessible to all qualified vendors meeting stringent maritime industrial standards. His technical expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 336611, Ship Building and Repairing, encompassing dry-dock services, structural steel replacement, propulsion system upgrades, and naval-specific electrical and mechanical retrofits. He specializes in procuring services that demand compliance with Navy shipbuilding standards, naval engineering specifications, and marine environmental regulations, ensuring all contracted work supports the long-term operational integrity of the fleet.
