Lanisa M. McCollum

Lanisa M. McCollum serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex construction and industrial maintenance acquisitions within a federal agency. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts, from solicitation through award and performance monitoring, with a focus on infrastructure and utility-related projects. Her role is central to ensuring mission-critical facilities and systems are supported through compliant, efficient, and transparent contracting practices aligned with federal acquisition regulations. McCollum typically handles large-scale engineering and maintenance contracts requiring technical oversight and coordination with civil, electrical, and mechanical disciplines. Her contractor relationships span a diverse base of firms specializing in heavy civil construction, industrial equipment repair, and electrical systems installation. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in infrastructure resilience, compliance with OSHA and EPA standards, and proven performance on federally funded projects. McCollum fosters collaborative working relationships with both large primes and qualified small businesses, emphasizing accountability, schedule adherence, and quality control throughout contract execution. A strong advocate for small business participation, McCollum directs nearly half of her acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and enhance competition. Her contracting patterns show minimal use of other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a primary focus on general small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic categories. This approach supports broad-based vendor development while maintaining competitive rigor. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in water and sewer infrastructure (237110) and electrical systems (238210). She also routinely procures commercial and industrial machinery repair services (811310) and switchgear manufacturing (335313), demonstrating specialized knowledge in utility-scale equipment and maintenance protocols. McCollum’s portfolio reflects deep domain expertise in public works, energy infrastructure, and industrial asset sustainment.
