Lisa A. Winka

Lisa A. Winka serves as a Contract Specialist within the 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in enabling airpower readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical technology and support services. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements for advanced systems that enhance pilot training, communications resilience, and enterprise logistics, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities. Her work spans complex contract actions including Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, performance-based service contracts, and technical services agreements that directly support operational readiness across combat and training domains. Winka maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in information technology, simulation systems, and enterprise software solutions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable digital capabilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, clear performance metrics, and stringent compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards, fostering transparent and accountable vendor partnerships. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission effectiveness and broad market access. While she does not routinely target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her processes remain fully compliant with all socioeconomic requirements and encourage participation where vendors meet technical specifications. Winka’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS Code 511210—Software Publishers—reflecting deep expertise in acquiring custom and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software solutions for flight simulation, mission planning, data analytics, and secure communications platforms. She specializes in procuring integrated digital systems that enhance pilot proficiency, sustain networked command and control, and modernize enterprise IT infrastructure across Air Force operations.
