Lisa Malone

Lisa Malone serves as an Administrative Contract Manager for the Utility Services Department under the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission in Laurel, Maryland, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to maintain and modernize public water and sewer infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from solicitation development and source selection to contract administration and performance evaluation, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulatory frameworks. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, engineering, and consulting services critical to sustaining public health and environmental standards across the service area. Lisa works closely with a diverse array of contractors specializing in civil infrastructure, water system rehabilitation, and technical consulting. While no single vendor dominates her award history, she routinely engages with firms holding expertise in water and sewer line construction, hydraulic modeling, and utility asset management. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term contractor accountability, fostering partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. Lisa’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued as no set-aside procurements. This approach prioritizes technical merit and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic categorizations, though she remains attentive to small business participation where it aligns with project needs and competitive bidding. Her focus is on achieving optimal value through transparent, fair, and efficient acquisition processes. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), where she oversees complex civil works involving pipeline replacement, pump station upgrades, and stormwater management systems. She also regularly procures engineering services (NAICS 541330) for hydraulic analysis and infrastructure design, alongside human resources consulting (NAICS 541612) to support workforce planning and regulatory compliance training. Her domain expertise centers on utility system resilience, regulatory adherence, and performance-driven contract management.
