Lisa A. Kraft

Lisa A. Kraft serves as a Contract Specialist with the Defense Information Systems Agency’s Disa/ditco Europe office, where she manages complex procurement actions to secure and sustain mission-critical communications infrastructure across theater environments in Europe and Southwest Asia. Her role centers on acquiring commercial telecommunications services, secure data transport solutions, and integrated IT systems that enable resilient, low-latency connectivity for U.S. military operations. She specializes in full lifecycle contract management for technical services, ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards and operational requirements for encrypted, high-capacity networks. Her acquisitions primarily support the agency’s mission to maintain global information dominance through reliable, scalable, and secure communications architectures. Kraft maintains established working relationships with a diverse set of global contractors, including L1 Enterprises Incorporated, British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Vodafone Enterprise Germany GmbH, Liberty Communications, Inc., and QualityNet General Trading and Contracting Company WLL. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced commercial providers capable of delivering enterprise-grade telecom, network engineering, and managed services under stringent security protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, service-level agreements, and vendor accountability in dynamic operational environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 95% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. Only 5% of her contracts are awarded through the 8(a) program, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. Kraft’s primary procurement focus lies in information technology services, with over 79% of her acquisitions falling under NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). She frequently procures secure network integration, cloud-enabled mission systems, and wireless communications support services, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-grade IT infrastructure and mission-critical software development.
