Lisa Harvie

Lisa Harvie serves as the primary procurement lead for the Asc Commodities Division within the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electrical components essential to the sustainment of military aviation systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for high-reliability fasteners, bearings, wiring devices, and precision-engineered parts that ensure the structural integrity and operational readiness of aircraft platforms. She specializes in direct procurement actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, frequently utilizing simplified acquisition procedures for standard items while employing competitive sealed bidding for complex, high-integrity components requiring stringent military specifications. Harvie maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers specializing in aerospace-grade manufacturing, with consistent engagement with certified producers of bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, and washers, as well as firms capable of meeting AS9100 and MIL-SPEC standards. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she cultivates relationships with both established defense suppliers and niche manufacturers with specialized capabilities in precision machining and material certification. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and timely delivery under exigent operational timelines. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the division’s mission-critical mandate to ensure uninterrupted readiness of aviation assets. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes must meet exacting performance and quality benchmarks. Harvie’s primary focus lies in NAICS 332722, governing the manufacture of fasteners and hardware, which constitutes 75% of her portfolio. She also routinely procures components under NAICS 333611 for turbine-related systems and NAICS 332216 for specialized handtools and saw blades used in aircraft maintenance. Her technical expertise centers on metallurgical specifications, tolerancing standards, and certification requirements critical to aviation safety and durability.
