Lisa D. Washington serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives for medical and diagnostic equipment. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements in the healthcare technology and life sciences sectors, including surgical instruments, medical supplies, and in-vitro diagnostic substances. Washington’s work supports the acquisition of high-integrity, regulated products essential to public health infrastructure, requiring close coordination with technical evaluators, legal counsel, and program stakeholders to ensure regulatory alignment and risk mitigation. While specific contractor names are not available, Washington maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with manufacturers and suppliers specializing in FDA-regulated medical devices and diagnostic solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding under full and open competition, with a strong preference for vendors possessing robust quality systems, ISO certifications, and experience in GMP environments. She routinely works with both large-tier manufacturers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical and compliance requirements. Washington’s set-aside preferences reflect a balanced commitment to small business participation, with 15.4% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions proceed under full and open competition, she actively promotes small business eligibility through targeted market outreach and clear solicitation language that encourages qualified small manufacturers to respond. Her approach aligns with agency goals to expand access for small businesses without compromising technical rigor. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (339112), Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (339113), and In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing (325413), indicating deep expertise in regulated medical product procurement. She also frequently handles contracts under 811219 for specialized medical repair services and 541940 for veterinary diagnostic support, demonstrating a broad yet technically precise understanding of healthcare supply chains and diagnostic technologies.
