Lisa M. Sherman

Lisa M. Sherman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions within the defense and aerospace technology sector. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing solicitations, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts for high-precision instrumentation systems. Her work directly supports mission-critical capabilities in navigation, detection, and guidance technologies, aligning with national security and aviation modernization priorities. Sherman typically handles sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on technical evaluation and source selection processes for advanced electronic systems. Sherman collaborates with a broad base of prime contractors and subsystem suppliers specializing in aerospace-grade sensors, avionics, and mission-critical instrumentation. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing AS9100 certification and ITAR compliance, fostering relationships with both established defense primes and niche technology innovators. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure technical fidelity and delivery timelines. Sherman’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains fully compliant with all small business regulations. Her approach prioritizes competitive fairness and value-driven outcomes, ensuring that all eligible vendors—regardless of size or status—have equitable access to opportunities based on merit and technical superiority. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 334511, encompassing the design, development, and manufacturing of aeronautical and nautical systems and instruments. She procures advanced radar systems, inertial navigation units, flight control sensors, and integrated guidance subsystems used in military and civil aviation platforms. Sherman brings deep technical literacy in electro-optical systems, signal processing, and ruggedized electronics, enabling her to effectively evaluate complex technical proposals and ensure contract deliverables meet stringent performance standards.
