Lisa DeBolt

Lisa DeBolt serves as a Contract Specialist at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements critical to sustaining naval vessel readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for industrial maintenance, ship repair, and specialized engineering equipment, ensuring alignment with Navy operational requirements and federal acquisition regulations. Her acquisitions primarily support the modernization and sustainment of fleet assets through complex, technically demanding contracts that require rigorous oversight and compliance with defense-specific standards. DeBolt maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on industrial infrastructure, marine coatings, and propulsion system components, indicating a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability in high-stakes maintenance and repair operations. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 45% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 5% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms within the defense industrial base. Her primary NAICS focus is on Ship Building and Repairing (336611), reflecting her central role in supporting naval vessel maintenance. She also routinely procures specialized equipment under 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing), demonstrating technical expertise in mechanical systems critical to shipboard operations. Additional procurements in pumping equipment and professional training further support the Center’s mission to maintain a skilled workforce and reliable industrial infrastructure.
