Lisa Miller

Lisa Miller serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within her organization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning contractual outcomes with mission-critical objectives. She specializes in negotiating complex engineering services contracts, working closely with technical evaluators, legal counsel, and program managers to define performance requirements, assess risk, and secure favorable terms. Her role is central to the agency’s mission of acquiring high-quality, cost-effective engineering solutions that support infrastructure, systems development, and technical modernization efforts. She handles both competitive and sole-source acquisitions, with a focus on firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. Lisa collaborates with a broad spectrum of engineering service providers, including large prime contractors and mid-tier firms specializing in technical design, systems integration, and analytical support. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent working relationships with firms possessing proven technical capabilities in civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering disciplines. Her negotiation style emphasizes transparency, performance accountability, and long-term contractor reliability, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in mutual compliance and delivery excellence. Lisa’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical merit, past performance, and price competitiveness as primary selection criteria. This approach underscores a mission-driven emphasis on capability over socioeconomic classification, ensuring that the most qualified engineering firms are selected regardless of business size or certification status. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330—Engineering Services—encompassing architectural, structural, environmental, and systems engineering support. She routinely procures services related to facility design, technical analysis, modeling and simulation, and compliance engineering. Her domain expertise lies in complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects requiring rigorous standards adherence and regulatory coordination, making her a key steward of technical integrity across the agency’s acquisition portfolio.
