Lisa S. Josephowitz

Lisa Josephowitz serves as a procurement specialist focused on scientific and technical acquisitions, driving the agency’s mission to secure high-precision analytical equipment and laboratory services. She manages the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical requirements. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical instrumentation and testing services, positioning her as a key liaison between technical stakeholders and vendor communities to deliver reliable, standards-compliant solutions. Josephowitz maintains a broad network of suppliers across analytical instrument manufacturing, testing laboratories, and scientific consulting sectors. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages both large-capability firms and niche technical vendors with specialized expertise in laboratory automation, calibration services, and analytical method validation. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical evaluation criteria, and performance-based contract structures to ensure accountability and innovation. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on sourcing the most technically qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach suggests an emphasis on technical merit and performance outcomes over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with mission needs that demand specialized, non-commoditized capabilities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), where she acquires mass spectrometers, chromatography systems, and other precision instrumentation. She also regularly procures testing laboratory services (541380) and scientific consulting (541690), demonstrating deep expertise in quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and metrology standards. Her domain knowledge spans environmental, pharmaceutical, and forensic testing environments, making her a trusted authority in complex technical acquisitions requiring rigorous validation and traceability.
