Lisa A. Iacono

Lisa A. Iacono serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs within her organization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex manufacturing and specialized medical device contracts, requiring deep technical understanding and precise contract structuring. Iacono routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, ensuring transparency, fairness, and alignment with agency objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, Iacono maintains relationships with a diverse pool of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in precision-engineered goods, including firms producing surgical appliances, ophthalmic equipment, and aerospace components. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive engagement and vendor performance accountability, fostering partnerships with both large-capacity producers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications. She prioritizes clear solicitation language and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables meet quality and regulatory standards. Iacono demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently awarding approximately 8.3% of contracts as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to mission-critical supply chains, without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), 314999 (Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), 339115 (Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturing), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring high-precision, regulated medical and aerospace components, requiring familiarity with FDA, FAA, and ISO quality standards, as well as supply chain traceability and material compliance protocols.
