Lisa Spang

Lisa Spang serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of electronic components and passive circuitry systems critical to national defense and aerospace applications. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering technically complex components that support mission-critical systems. She specializes in full lifecycle contract management—from market research and solicitation development to award administration and contract closeout—focusing on high-reliability, precision-engineered passive components such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and transformers. Her acquisitions are foundational to the functionality of avionics, radar, and communication systems, requiring deep technical understanding of manufacturing standards and quality assurance protocols. Lisa maintains a broad and competitive vendor base, engaging with both large-scale manufacturers and specialized suppliers capable of meeting stringent military and aerospace specifications such as MIL-PRF-55342 and MIL-PRF-123. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently evaluates and selects vendors based on technical capability, past performance, and adherence to industrial control standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair and open competition, leveraging industry engagement events and pre-solicitation notices to foster transparency and innovation. Lisa’s procurement patterns reflect a strict preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under general competition. She does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical fitness and supply chain resilience as primary selection criteria. This approach underscores her commitment to mission readiness through access to the highest-performing industrial capabilities, regardless of vendor size or certification status. Her primary NAICS focus—334416, Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing—reveals deep specialization in passive electronic component procurement. She routinely sources surface-mount and through-hole components for high-temperature, high-vibration environments, demonstrating expertise in material science, RoHS compliance, and lead-free soldering standards. Her technical acumen ensures that all procured components meet exacting reliability benchmarks for defense and space applications.
