Lisa A Kraft

Lisa A. Kraft supports the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency in executing mission-critical telecommunications acquisitions that secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on network modernization, secure virtual private networks, and interoperable telecom systems, ensuring resilient connectivity for military and federal operations. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic goals of replacing legacy systems with next-generation, cyber-secure solutions, and she routinely handles complex procurements involving both commercial and government-specific telecom technologies. Kraft maintains established working relationships with key contractors 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 balanced approach to sourcing, combining large-scale service providers with specialized firms capable of delivering tailored fiber optic, network integration, and secure communications solutions. Her procurement patterns emphasize reliability, scalability, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical excellence and performance accountability. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 68% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a strong commitment to small business participation. Approximately 28% of contracts are set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and 4% are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster competitive opportunity within the defense telecom ecosystem. Kraft’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 541712 (R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences), underscoring her technical expertise in network architecture, secure software development, and telecommunications systems engineering. She consistently procures mission-enabling services such as network automation, secure cloud integration, and high-capacity data transport solutions, aligning acquisitions with DISA’s mandate to deliver resilient, future-ready communications capabilities.
