Lisa Miles

Lisa Miles serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by executing timely, transparent, and legally sound procurement actions. Her portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts across information technology, research, and media distribution sectors, with a focus on non-commercial and professional services requiring technical evaluation and performance-based contracting approaches. She works closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align purchasing decisions with strategic objectives and regulatory requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, Lisa collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and general service providers, primarily in the technology and information services space. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with limited reliance on sole-source or emergency authorities. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with vendors, emphasizing fairness, competition, and documentation integrity throughout the acquisition process. Lisa demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 85.7% of her awards issued under open, unrestricted solicitations and 14.3% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though she does not currently utilize specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms within her acquisition domain. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 519130 (Other Information Services), 511130 (Newspaper Publishers), 424920 (Book, Periodical, and Newspaper Merchant Wholesalers), 541720 (Social Sciences and Humanities Research), and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services). She procures a wide range of digital content, research support, publishing distribution, and IT consulting services, indicating deep expertise in information management, media logistics, and applied social science research contracting.
