Lisa Gossett

Lisa Gossett serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical technology and training objectives. Her portfolio primarily centers on information technology services, particularly custom software development and professional training solutions, aligning acquisitions with organizational performance goals and modernization priorities. She routinely engages with industry partners to foster competition, ensure technical feasibility, and secure high-quality deliverables under firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials contract vehicles. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Gossett consistently engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large systems integrators, niche software developers, and training service providers. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, clear performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and mission alignment. She maintains a vendor-agnostic stance, prioritizing capability, past performance, and compliance over established relationships, fostering an open and transparent acquisition environment. Gossett’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, while still adhering to all applicable small business goals and reporting requirements. Her approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection and efficient resource allocation, consistent with agency-wide objectives to achieve optimal value. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), where she acquires bespoke software solutions and application development services. She also regularly procures professional and management development training (NAICS 611430) and information services (NAICS 511210), demonstrating expertise in both technical and human capital domains. Her work supports digital transformation, workforce upskilling, and data-driven decision-making across federal operations.
