Lisa Conard Frost serves as Superintendent for the DSC Contracting Services Division within the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition and management of infrastructure modernization projects critical to preserving America’s national parks. In this role, she leads the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for the rehabilitation of historic structures, upgrading of utility systems, and enhancement of visitor facilities across ecologically sensitive and remote landscapes. Her procurement portfolio is centered on engineering, construction, and recreational infrastructure services, ensuring compliance with federal preservation standards and environmental resilience requirements.

Superintendent Frost maintains long-standing relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., HDR Engineering Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in historic preservation, civil engineering, and site development within protected areas. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical qualifications, and proven experience in complex, federally regulated environments, fostering collaborative, mission-aligned vendor relationships. Superintendent Frost’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most technically capable and qualified contractors regardless of socioeconomic designation, prioritizing project outcomes and specialized expertise over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted through set-asides, her office maintains transparency and equitable access for all qualified vendors through rigorous evaluation criteria. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 713990 (All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries), encompassing the design, construction, and rehabilitation of visitor centers, trails, campgrounds, and recreational infrastructure. She specializes in procurements requiring integration of historic preservation standards, environmental compliance, and adaptive reuse of aging facilities, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federally managed recreational and cultural infrastructure projects.
