Lisa Dieli

Lisa Dieli serves as a Contracting Officer for the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) within the U.S. Coast Guard, where she manages the acquisition of critical maritime assets to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and vessels. Her portfolio centers on shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts essential to operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions. Dieli specializes in complex, long-term procurement actions involving naval architecture, dry dock overhauls, propulsion system upgrades, and vessel modernization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness standards. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into legally sound, technically rigorous contracts that support the Coast Guard’s strategic maritime infrastructure goals. Dieli maintains established relationships with key industrial partners including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., Bay Ship & Yacht Co., Automatic Coating Limited USA, and Tecnico Corporation. These contractors provide specialized capabilities in vessel construction, marine coatings, engine systems, and shipyard maintenance services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, quality assurance, and performance-based contracting, ensuring reliable delivery of mission-critical maritime assets under stringent naval standards. Dieli demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 40% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 5% allocated to HUBZone concerns. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition, she actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster industry diversity and support qualified small businesses with relevant maritime capabilities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over 70% of her activity, reflecting deep expertise in naval vessel lifecycle management. She also procures related engineering services under NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and specialized marine coatings and systems, demonstrating technical fluency in maritime propulsion, corrosion control, and vessel sustainment technologies.
