Lisa Harris

Lisa Harris serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Southeast, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility support contracts, focusing on commercial and institutional building construction, utilities, and base operations services. Her work directly enables naval readiness by ensuring timely delivery of high-performance facilities through competitive acquisition strategies aligned with FAR and NAVFAC guidelines. Harris routinely handles complex, multi-disciplinary contracts requiring coordination among design, construction, and maintenance stakeholders. She maintains strong, recurring relationships with top-tier contractors including BL Harbert International, Walsh Federal, Sauer Construction, McKenzie Construction & Site Development, and Kira Aviation Services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service vendors capable of executing large-scale, integrated projects involving site development, mechanical systems, and facility modernization. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and sustained vendor collaboration, often leveraging past performance and technical capability evaluations to select contractors with proven track records in naval infrastructure environments. Harris’s procurement approach prioritizes broad competition, with approximately 70% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on maximizing value and capability. However, she consistently supports small business participation, with nearly 30% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 8(a) competed contracts. Her socioeconomic strategy balances open competition with targeted opportunities to foster vendor diversity and strengthen the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), demonstrating deep expertise in facility systems integration, mechanical infrastructure, and maintenance services essential to naval base sustainment.
