Lisa A. Winka

Lisa A. Winka serves as a Contract Specialist within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of critical air transportation services. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—Winka ensures timely and compliant procurement of nonscheduled air charter capabilities essential to expeditionary logistics, port operations, and rapid global deployment. Her acquisitions directly support DoD’s strategic imperative to maintain agile, responsive, and theater-accessible mobility networks across air, sea, land, and rail domains. Winka maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized air charter providers, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These vendors are selected for their proven capacity to deliver unscheduled, mission-critical air transport of personnel and cargo under dynamic operational conditions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, risk mitigation, and contractor reliability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in operational readiness and regulatory compliance. Winka’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on open competition to secure the most capable and mission-ready providers regardless of socioeconomic status. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her contracting actions remain fully compliant with all applicable federal acquisition regulations and emphasize value, capability, and timeliness over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation) and 481212 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation), reflecting deep expertise in air charter services tailored to military operational needs. She specializes in procuring on-demand, point-to-point air transport solutions that support contingency operations, humanitarian missions, and strategic airlift requirements, with a technical understanding of aircraft certifications, flight operational constraints, and global regulatory environments.
