Lisa Jones

Lisa Jones serves as a Contracting Officer at Headquarters, U.S. Army TACOM (W4GG), responsible for managing the full lifecycle acquisition of ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of Defense. She oversees complex procurement actions for armored vehicle platforms, tactical wheeled systems, and associated ordnance components, ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities such as survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Her portfolio includes competitive and sole-source contracts governed by FAR and DFARS, with a focus on engineering integration, sustainment, and technology refresh initiatives critical to maintaining operational readiness. Jones maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These contractors provide specialized capabilities in vehicle chassis fabrication, armor integration, avionics systems, and mechanical power transmission components. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based contract management to support mission-critical fielding and sustainment requirements. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides (80%), she actively promotes small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (20%), aligning with FAR 19.5 to foster competition among qualified small manufacturers. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand the defense industrial base by engaging capable small businesses with expertise in military-grade fabrication and systems integration. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing) and 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing), with significant activity in 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment) and 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories). She specializes in acquiring high-integrity mechanical and electro-mechanical systems for armored platforms, demonstrating deep technical fluency in military vehicle architecture, survivability enhancements, and logistics support infrastructure.
