Lisa L Coleman

Lisa L. Coleman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while aligning procurement actions with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on research and development activities in physical, engineering, and life sciences. Coleman routinely handles competitive solicitations under both full and open competition and targeted small business set-asides, ensuring transparency, fairness, and regulatory integrity throughout the acquisition process. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Coleman’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in scientific research, laboratory testing, and technical consulting services. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, encouraging teaming arrangements and prime-subcontractor partnerships that enhance innovation and capacity. Her approach prioritizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability, and past performance as key evaluation criteria. Coleman demonstrates a clear preference for full and open competition, with approximately 90.9% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 9.1% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses, particularly those with expertise in specialized technical domains. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), followed by 541990 (Other Professional Services) and 541380 (Testing Laboratories). She regularly procures services related to laboratory analysis, scientific instrumentation, engineering design, and non-biotech R&D support, indicating deep familiarity with technical specifications, compliance standards, and performance-based contracting methodologies in science-driven industries.
