Lisa M. Koski

Lisa M. Koski serves as a Contract Specialist at the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, she supports the agency’s mission to modernize armored and tactical wheeled platforms through integrated engineering, logistics, and production contracts. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, mechanical systems manufacturing, and specialized ordnance support, ensuring technical readiness and operational superiority for Army ground forces. Koski maintains established working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision engineering, vehicle subsystem integration, avionics, and specialized manufacturing capabilities essential to modernizing tactical platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based acquisition strategies to meet rigorous military standards. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as no set-aside actions, Koski consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately 26.3% of her contracts awarded under total small business set-asides in accordance with FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms capable of supporting niche defense manufacturing and technical services. Her procurement focus is centered on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which dominates her portfolio, followed by 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services). She routinely manages contracts for vehicle survivability enhancements, powertrain components, maintenance support systems, and specialized training services, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of armored vehicle sustainment and ground systems modernization.
