Lisa D Kaminer

Lisa D. Kaminer serves as a Procurement Analyst responsible for supporting the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promotes transparent, competitive procurement practices that align with agency mission objectives. Her work typically involves managing simplified acquisitions, blanket purchase agreements, and other low-to-moderate risk procurements, often supporting administrative, technical, and professional services. Kaminer collaborates closely with program managers and contracting officers to translate mission needs into solicitation requirements that foster fair and open competition. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly identified, Kaminer engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier contractors, and large prime firms, depending on the scope and complexity of each acquisition. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, prioritizing responsiveness, past performance, and regulatory compliance over sole-source or non-competitive pathways. She maintains a collaborative working relationship with industry stakeholders, encouraging pre-solicitation outreach and clear communication to enhance market understanding and reduce bid protests. Kaminer demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference underscores her dedication to expanding opportunities for small businesses, particularly those owned by women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Her approach avoids over-reliance on non-set-aside awards, reinforcing the agency’s broader goals of equitable market access and small business growth. Although specific NAICS categories are not available, her portfolio likely centers on professional, scientific, and technical services, as well as administrative support functions—domains commonly supported by small business set-asides. Her expertise lies in structuring solicitations that attract qualified small business bidders while ensuring technical adequacy and value for the government.
