Amanda Leal

Amanda Leal serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3030 17 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of mission-critical building systems, including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure, ensuring installations maintain compliance with Air Force standards and support the quality of life for personnel. Her portfolio centers on maintenance, repair, and upgrade services for military facilities, with a strong emphasis on long-term resilience and energy efficiency. Leal’s acquisitions are primarily service-based, targeting specialized contractors capable of delivering complex, code-compliant work across active-duty bases and support installations. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of qualified contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC, and ACTION CONSTRUCTION AUSTIN LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in commercial and industrial facility systems, particularly those experienced in military-grade construction and maintenance protocols. Leal’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and timely performance, fostering long-term vendor engagement through repeat task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Leal’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business participation mandates, with 100% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes contracting with small disadvantaged, service-disabled veteran-owned, and HUBZone-certified firms, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while maintaining high performance standards. Her consistent use of full small business set-asides underscores a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals and workforce development within the defense industrial base. Her technical focus is dominated by NAICS 333415, reflecting a primary reliance on procurement of air-conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment manufacturing services, alongside NAICS 484230 for specialized long-haul freight supporting facility upgrades. This specialization highlights her deep expertise in mechanical systems integration and logistics-enabled infrastructure projects, ensuring that installations receive mission-critical equipment and installation services tailored to Air Force operational environments.
