Lisa Harris serves as a Contract Specialist with the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02 (36C242) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize veteran healthcare infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility renovations, clinical equipment procurement, and maintenance services essential to VA medical centers. Her work ensures that physical and operational environments meet federal standards for safety, functionality, and technological advancement, directly supporting the delivery of high-quality care to veterans. Harris specializes in negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based service contracts and construction-related acquisitions.

Harris cultivates long-term vendor relationships grounded in compliance, performance accountability, and technical proficiency, often engaging contractors through multiple award task order contracts to ensure responsive and scalable service delivery. While the majority of her acquisitions—79.6%—are conducted without set-asides, Harris consistently prioritizes socioeconomic opportunities, with 14.3% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and 6.1% reserved under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5.
