Lisa L. Maxwell

Lisa L. Maxwell serves as a Contracting Specialist within the W7N1 Uspfo Activity Tnang 134 under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and operational support systems essential to military readiness and force protection. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for construction, security enhancements, and integrated communications systems. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s strategic priorities by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering secure, resilient facilities and services to sustain garrison operations and modernize defense infrastructure. Maxwell maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including P & W Construction Company, LLC and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which are frequently engaged for commercial and institutional building construction, site development, and facility modernization efforts. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering reliability and accountability in delivering complex, mission-aligned projects under tight operational timelines. A strong advocate for small business participation, Maxwell consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 69% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to increase contracting opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), and 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers), indicating expertise in procuring secure facility construction, specialized communications hardware, and data center services. She regularly manages acquisitions involving physical security systems, integrated audiovisual networks, and mission-support furnishings, demonstrating technical fluency in defense infrastructure domains and a commitment to standards-compliant, high-integrity procurement outcomes.
