Lisa M. Zarick

Lisa M. Zarick serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex procurements for specialized medical and industrial instrumentation, requiring technical acumen and precise contract structuring. Zarick routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, with a focus on delivering high-precision equipment for healthcare and industrial control systems. While specific contractor names are not available, Zarick maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in medical device manufacturing, process control instrumentation, and electrical components. Her contracting patterns reflect engagement with both large-capability manufacturers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications. She fosters collaborative relationships with suppliers who demonstrate quality assurance compliance, ISO certification, and robust supply chain capabilities, ensuring reliable delivery of mission-critical equipment. Zarick demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 18% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her set-aside preferences reflect a preference for broad small business opportunities over targeted socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focus on capability and capacity over socioeconomically designated categories. This approach ensures competitive tension while supporting the growth of small manufacturers with relevant technical expertise. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and NAICS 334513 (Industrial Process Measurement and Control Instruments). She specializes in acquiring diagnostic devices, precision sensors, and industrial control systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, calibration standards, and regulatory requirements such as FDA and ANSI/ISO standards for medical and industrial equipment.
