Lisa L. Carter serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA5209 374th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining U.S. military operations in Japan. She oversees the acquisition of professional training and management development services essential to maintaining operational readiness across geographically dispersed installations. Her portfolio focuses on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capacity-building solutions that enhance workforce proficiency and institutional effectiveness. Carter’s acquisitions are primarily service-based, centered on curriculum design, leadership development, and technical instruction tailored to Air Force personnel needs. Carter maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of contractors, including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on established vendors with proven expertise in delivering structured training programs, communication systems support, and facility-based instructional services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous vendor evaluation, and contract administration grounded in FAR compliance and mission alignment. She collaborates closely with these firms to ensure service delivery meets the unique operational tempo and cultural context of U.S. forces stationed overseas. Carter’s contracting activity reflects a 100% no set-aside profile, indicating a preference for full and open competition across all solicitations. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains transparent and competitively driven, ensuring value and capability are the primary selection criteria. This approach aligns with the agency’s need for scalable, high-quality training solutions that can be rapidly deployed across complex international environments. Her primary focus is on NAICS 611430—Professional and Management Development Training—where she procures comprehensive instructional services including leadership academies, safety compliance training, logistics management courses, and joint operations readiness programs. Her technical domain expertise lies in designing and managing contract vehicles that deliver standardized, measurable workforce development outcomes across diverse military occupational specialties.
