Lisa Winka

Lisa Winka serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize aerospace and space-based defense systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of engineering services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and aligning procurement strategies with the agency’s objectives to maintain operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications, and global positioning infrastructure. She specializes in complex, technical procurements requiring rigorous performance standards and lifecycle support, often coordinating with engineering teams and program managers to define requirements and evaluate technical proposals. Lisa works primarily with defense aerospace contractors and engineering service providers with deep expertise in space systems sustainment, navigation technologies, and command and control architectures. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms possessing specialized technical certifications and proven experience in classified and high-assurance environments. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, systems engineering support, and long-term sustainment partnerships. Lisa’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. This suggests she prioritizes mission-critical performance and system interoperability, often requiring specialized engineering talent not always available within small business pools. Her approach aligns with the technical complexity and national security sensitivity of the systems she supports. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 — Engineering Services — encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, sustainment planning, and integration support for space and missile platforms. She routinely procures services related to satellite maintenance, signal integrity analysis, ground station modernization, and embedded software development for defense-critical infrastructure, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace sustainment and space domain awareness.
