Lisa L. Nelson

Lisa L. Nelson serves as a Contracting Officer within the Office of Facility Management under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in securing essential support services that ensure the operational readiness and safety of federal facilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on facility lifecycle management, environmental compliance, and security integration, with a focus on contract types that support sustained infrastructure performance. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to maintain secure, clean, and efficient government buildings through strategic sourcing of mission-critical services and equipment. Nelson cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including specialized janitorial service providers, security and public safety contractors, and computer equipment wholesalers. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering scalable, compliant, and high-quality support services across multiple federal sites. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous vendor accountability to meet stringent facility standards. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under the Small Business Administration’s programs, fostering competitive bidding and equitable access to federal contracts without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. Nelson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 922190 (Other Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities), and 423430 (Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers). She specializes in acquiring facility maintenance services, security support systems, and IT hardware/software solutions critical to federal building operations, demonstrating deep expertise in integrating technical and operational requirements into compliant, high-performing contracts.
