Lisa K Ohl

Lisa K. Ohl serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency procurement objectives through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily involves complex technical procurements in manufacturing and communications equipment, requiring deep subject matter expertise in engineering specifications, performance-based requirements, and source selection methodologies. Ohl’s work supports mission-critical capabilities through timely and lawful contract execution. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers of precision measurement, communications, and electrical equipment. She cultivates relationships with both large-tier industrial suppliers and small business vendors, fostering competition through open market solicitations while actively facilitating small business participation. Her approach emphasizes fair and equitable access, encouraging vendor collaboration during pre-solicitation phases and promoting clarity in technical requirements to reduce protest risk. Ohl demonstrates a strong preference for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 28% of her acquisitions reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, prioritizing small business participation without reliance on other set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her pattern suggests a focus on broad-based small business engagement, particularly in manufacturing sectors where small firms can compete effectively on technical merit. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334514 (totalizing fluid meter and counting device manufacturing) and 334290 (other communications equipment manufacturing), indicating specialized expertise in instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and wireless communication hardware. She routinely procures components and systems for industrial monitoring, broadcasting infrastructure, and integrated electrical systems, demonstrating technical fluency in electro-mechanical and signal transmission domains. Her work supports advanced sensing, control, and communication technologies critical to operational readiness and infrastructure modernization.
