Lisa Gregory

Lisa Gregory serves as a Contract Officer for the W6QK Acc-apg Durham under the Department of the Army’s W911NF code, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the Army’s scientific and technical modernization priorities. She manages the full lifecycle of complex R&D acquisitions, primarily focused on engineering services that support disruptive technologies in autonomy, quantum systems, and intelligence horizon scanning. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to accelerate innovation in physical and life sciences through strategic contracting, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while fostering agile, mission-critical solutions. Gregory specializes in sole-source and competitive negotiated procurements for high-technology engineering deliverables, often involving sensitive or classified technical requirements. Her contractor relationships center on established engineering services firms with proven expertise in defense-oriented R&D, including those with deep experience in systems engineering, modeling and simulation, and advanced prototyping. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing top-tier security clearances, technical certifications, and demonstrated success in Army innovation programs. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, outcome-driven statements of work, and long-term technical partnerships over transactional vendor relationships. Lisa Gregory’s procurement profile reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. She does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead selecting vendors based on technical merit, past performance, and mission alignment. This reflects the specialized, high-acuity nature of the work she supports, where proprietary expertise and security compliance take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement activity falls under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with a strong emphasis on applied research, systems integration, and technical consulting in support of Army modernization initiatives. She procures advanced engineering deliverables including autonomous system architectures, quantum sensor prototypes, and AI-enabled intelligence analysis tools, requiring deep domain knowledge in defense science and engineering disciplines.
