Lisa Fielding

Lisa Fielding serves as a secondary procurement liaison at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize U.S. Navy submarines and surface vessels. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for specialized industrial and training services. Her work ensures alignment between operational readiness requirements and procurement execution, particularly in areas requiring precision engineering support and workforce development. She typically handles non-standard, mission-critical acquisitions that require close coordination with technical stakeholders and industrial partners. Fielding maintains established working relationships with key contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, UNITED RENTALS (NORTH AMERICA), INC., PATRIOT GLOBAL LODGING LLC, KARDEX REMSTAR, LLC, and BSE PERFORMANCE, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on large-tier vendors for high-integrity industrial services, logistics support, facility management, and specialized equipment. Her procurement patterns emphasize reliability, compliance, and technical capability over cost competitiveness, often involving long-term service agreements and performance-based contracts tailored to the shipyard’s unique operational environment. Fielding’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for accessing specialized capabilities available only through established industry leaders with proven track records in defense-critical environments. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, this approach aligns with the shipyard’s need for assured supply chain integrity and mission-critical performance standards. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 611430—Professional and Management Development Training—indicating deep specialization in workforce upskilling, technical certification programs, and leadership development for naval industrial personnel. She procures customized training solutions, simulator-based instruction, and safety compliance curricula designed to maintain the highly skilled labor force essential to submarine and surface vessel sustainment. Her expertise lies at the intersection of defense industrial training and workforce readiness.
