Lisa C. Parker

Lisa C. Parker serves as a Contracting Officer within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical training systems for naval aviation and maritime operations. Responsible for end-to-end contract management, she oversees the procurement of advanced simulation platforms, immersive training environments, and integrated avionics infrastructure designed to enhance pilot and aircrew readiness. Her portfolio emphasizes complex, technology-driven acquisitions aligned with the Department of the Navy’s strategic modernization goals, including tactical combat training systems and curriculum-enabled training solutions. Parker ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering scalable, interoperable capabilities that meet evolving operational requirements. She maintains enduring relationships with key industry partners, notably STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide high-fidelity simulation systems, flight training devices, and mission rehearsal capabilities. Her contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and technical innovation, often engaging contractors in early-stage requirements development to ensure system interoperability and sustainment readiness. Parker’s procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, experienced providers with proven track records in defense-grade training technologies. Parker’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the specialized and mission-critical nature of training system acquisitions. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her solicitations remain accessible to all qualified vendors, emphasizing technical merit and operational capability over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in advanced simulation, immersive training systems, and mission-critical avionics integration, corresponding to NAICS categories such as 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring systems that support synthetic training environments, embedded training software, and real-time data analytics for aircrew proficiency, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense aviation training domains.
