Lisa A. Kauffman

Lisa A. Kauffman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through strategic sourcing of essential services. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facilities support, transportation infrastructure, engineering services, and parking operations, reflecting a diverse range of non-defense, mission-enabling contracts. Kauffman’s approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and regulatory adherence to deliver cost-effective, high-quality outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available, Kauffman routinely engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier service providers, and specialized firms in transportation and facilities management. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for open competition, with a strong emphasis on fair and equitable opportunities across the marketplace. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors to ensure performance clarity, risk mitigation, and contract compliance throughout the award period. Kauffman demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and enhance competition through socioeconomic programs. While no other set-aside categories are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a proactive effort to support the growth of small, disadvantaged, and locally-based vendors in the federal marketplace. Her procurement focus is concentrated in five key NAICS categories: Facilities Support Services (561210), Truck and RV Leasing (532120), Engineering Services (541330), Parking Operations (812930), and Mixed Mode Transit Systems (485111). These reflect expertise in infrastructure support, mobility solutions, and operational logistics. Kauffman’s technical domain knowledge spans facility maintenance, transit system procurement, and engineering consultancy, positioning her as a strategic advisor in non-defense, service-oriented acquisitions.
