These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement and a focus on technical compliance, system integration, and cybersecurity adherence. Lewis’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition.

While small business participation is not a primary contracting mechanism in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations are transparent and competitively structured to allow equitable access. Her primary focus is on NAICS Code 511210, Software Publishers, encompassing custom software development, enterprise case management platforms, and secure data analytics applications. She specializes in procuring solutions that integrate with federal law enforcement systems, emphasizing interoperability, data integrity, and compliance with NIST and FISMA standards. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-specific software that supports investigative operations and secure information sharing across federal, state, and local agencies.
