Lisa M. Burns

Lisa M. Burns serves as a key procurement lead within the W7N8 Uspfo Activity Wiang Crtc, a critical component of the Department of the Army focused on sustaining military readiness through infrastructure and logistics acquisition. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on commercial and institutional building construction, temporary lodging, and operational catering services essential to training and deployment readiness. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance ground force mobility and aviation support capabilities by securing resilient facilities and mission-enabling services. Burns routinely oversees the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and operational timelines. Her primary contractor relationship is with FIRE FACILITIES, INC., a trusted vendor with proven expertise in modular and prefabricated building systems tailored for military training environments. Burns consistently partners with this contractor to deliver rapid-deployment structures that meet Army standards for durability, safety, and scalability. While FIRE FACILITIES, INC. remains her dominant vendor, she also engages with a broader base of small and mid-sized contractors to fulfill niche requirements in hospitality and food service support, fostering reliable, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance and compliance. Burns demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on small business participation. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she strategically leverages small business set-asides to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition in specialized service categories. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated on NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional construction, particularly prefabricated barracks, training centers, and maintenance facilities. She also regularly procures NAICS 721110 lodging services and NAICS 722320 catering solutions to sustain personnel during extended field operations. This technical domain expertise positions her as a specialist in mission-critical infrastructure and life support procurement for expeditionary and garrison environments.
