Lori Eastmead

Lori Eastmead serves as a Contracting Officer, where she is responsible for managing the acquisition process and ensuring regulatory compliance for her agency's procurement requirements. In this role, she oversees the solicitation and award of contracts to secure essential services and equipment necessary for agency operations.

However, there is a demonstrated commitment to small business participation, with a portion of awards designated for Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. Additionally, the procurement pattern includes the use of sole-source acquisitions for specialized maintenance and emergency repairs when only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. Ms. Eastmead's procurement focus is heavily concentrated in technical maintenance and security infrastructure. Her primary areas of expertise include Security Systems Services and the repair and maintenance of electronic and precision equipment. Her portfolio also encompasses specialized acquisitions for irradiation apparatus manufacturing and fire protection services.
