Stephanie Lagana

Stephanie Lagana serves as a key procurement professional within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she manages acquisitions critical to securing and modernizing the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. Her responsibilities center on procuring advanced telecommunications and network services that ensure resilient, high-capacity connectivity across military and federal operations. She oversees the acquisition of complex IT and telecom solutions, with a strategic focus on transitioning legacy systems to secure, scalable, and interoperable architectures, including virtual private networks and encrypted data transport platforms. Lagana maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of prime contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These vendors are frequently engaged to deliver end-to-end telecommunications design, implementation, and sustainment services, reflecting a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in defense-grade networking. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-term, performance-based engagements that prioritize technical reliability, cybersecurity compliance, and seamless integration with existing DoD networks. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, as 100% of her acquisitions are competed full and open. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on selecting the most technically capable providers regardless of business size or certification, prioritizing performance and mission readiness over socioeconomic targets. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541512 — Computer Systems Design Services — underscoring her specialization in engineered network solutions, secure infrastructure design, and systems integration for mission-critical communications. She procures services related to fiber-optic network deployment, secure cloud-enabled telecom platforms, network architecture modernization, and cyber-resilient transport systems, demonstrating deep expertise in defense telecommunications engineering and enterprise network modernization.
