Lisa Steele

Lisa Steele serves as a key procurement professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems for the Department of the Defense. She manages complex acquisition programs spanning engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and mission-critical software solutions, ensuring the Army’s tactical vehicle fleets remain technologically superior and operationally ready. Her work directly enables the sustainment and upgrade of armored platforms, tactical wheeled vehicles, and integrated ordnance systems through end-to-end contracting processes aligned with DoD acquisition regulations and lifecycle sustainment objectives. She maintains established relationships with core contractors including Schutt Industries, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, all of whom provide high-precision mechanical components, avionics integration, and specialized fabrication services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that emphasize technical reliability, supply chain resilience, and rapid response to fielded system requirements. Her procurement approach prioritizes proven vendors with demonstrated expertise in military-grade manufacturing and systems integration. Lisa’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a mission-driven focus on technical capability and schedule certainty over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her portfolio consistently includes small and mid-tier firms embedded within prime contractor supply chains, ensuring innovation and agility without compromising operational readiness. Her procurement focus is evenly distributed across four critical NAICS categories: 332710 (Machine Shops) for precision machining of vehicle components; 541330 (Engineering Services) for survivability and mobility system design; 513210 (Software Publishers) for embedded control and diagnostics software; and 334519 for advanced sensors and control devices. This technical breadth underscores her expertise in integrating mechanical, electronic, and software systems to enhance the performance of next-generation armored platforms.
