Erin Korte-Lamparter

Erin Korte-Lamparter serves as a key procurement professional within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she supports the acquisition of critical communications infrastructure essential to Department of Defense global operations. Her responsibilities encompass managing complex contracts for secure network services, virtual private network deployments, and legacy telecom modernization initiatives. She plays a central role in ensuring the resilience, scalability, and interoperability of military-grade telecommunications systems, aligning acquisitions with DISA’s mission to deliver secure, high-capacity connectivity across tactical and strategic domains. Her portfolio primarily involves service-based procurements requiring rigorous cybersecurity compliance and mission-critical uptime guarantees. Korte-Lamparter maintains sustained working relationships with leading telecommunications and network services providers, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in secure fiber optic deployment, encrypted data transport, and DoD-compliant network architecture. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced contractors capable of delivering end-to-end telecom solutions under strict federal security standards, with an emphasis on performance-based service delivery and continuous system integration. Her procurement activity shows a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the immediate needs of national defense communications over targeted small business set-asides. While NAICS data is not available, her acquisitions consistently align with telecommunications services, network engineering, and secure data transmission domains. She procures managed services for secure voice, video, and data networks, including MPLS, SD-WAN, and encrypted satellite communications, demonstrating deep expertise in modernizing DoD’s telecom ecosystem with next-generation, cyber-resilient technologies.
