Lisa B. Ball

Lisa B. Ball serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical industrial base capabilities essential to munitions production, precision machining, and battlefield equipment sustainment. Her role centers on ensuring the reliable delivery of ordnance-related components, fabricated metal products, and facilities support services that underpin the Army’s operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s modernization priorities, focusing on end-to-end lifecycle support for weapons systems and maintenance infrastructure. Her work directly enables the Army’s industrial readiness by bridging technical requirements with strategic sourcing initiatives. Ball maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in precision machining, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration for logistics and maintenance systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging technical capabilities to meet evolving battlefield demands while ensuring compliance with defense supply chain standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Ball consistently structures procurements as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over two-thirds of her awards reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense industrial base and fostering innovation from niche suppliers. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes broad-based small business engagement over niche set-asides, creating pathways for capable firms to support complex Army logistics needs. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing maintenance, repair, and operational support for munitions production facilities, machine tool systems, and industrial infrastructure. She specializes in acquiring integrated services that sustain the Army’s manufacturing and ordnance lifecycle support ecosystem, requiring deep technical understanding of defense manufacturing environments and facility readiness standards.
