Lisa Sawyer

Lisa Sawyer serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Labor’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM), where she oversees the acquisition of critical information technology and analytical services that underpin national labor data systems. Her role centers on ensuring the operational integrity of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ data collection infrastructure by securing specialized professional services that support system modernization, data analytics, and cybersecurity compliance. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on technical services essential to maintaining the accuracy, timeliness, and security of federal labor market statistics, with a strong emphasis on systems design and integrated software solutions. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in computer systems design and related IT services, including both large-scale integrators and niche technology providers with proven expertise in federal data environments. While no specific vendor relationships are currently dominant, her procurement activity reflects a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in federal data architecture, cloud-enabled analytics platforms, and secure data ingestion systems. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract vehicles to ensure accountability and technical excellence. Lisa Sawyer’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the highest technical capability to support the integrity of national labor statistics, prioritizing performance and expertise over socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing custom software development, data pipeline architecture, statistical modeling tools, and system integration for large-scale federal databases. She consistently acquires services that enhance the Department’s capacity to collect, analyze, and disseminate authoritative labor market information, requiring deep domain knowledge in statistical computing, data governance, and federal information systems standards.
