Lisa Myles

Lisa Myles serves as an Administrative Contract Manager for the Production Department of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission in Maryland, where she oversees the acquisition of specialized testing and analytical services critical to water and wastewater infrastructure compliance. In her primary procurement role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with federal, state, and environmental regulatory standards. Her acquisitions are strategically focused on maintaining system integrity through precision instrumentation calibration, laboratory analysis, and operational testing services that support public health and environmental compliance. Lisa works primarily with independent testing laboratories and technical service providers specializing in environmental sample analysis, hydraulic modeling, and process control instrumentation validation. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains a consistent network of qualified vendors with accredited ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories and proven experience in municipal utility environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, regulatory adherence, and performance reliability over volume-based vendor relationships, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in compliance and quality assurance. Lisa’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. She does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, reflecting a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and laboratory accreditation over socioeconomic criteria. This approach ensures that all vendors compete on equal footing based on technical merit and service quality. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 541380—Testing Laboratories and Services—encompassing water quality analysis, wastewater effluent testing, sludge characterization, and real-time monitoring system validation. She routinely procures services tied to EPA Method compliance, microbial and chemical contaminant detection, and automated sensor calibration, demonstrating deep expertise in environmental testing domains essential to utility operational integrity.
