Andru Leeper

Andru Leeper serves as a DC1 Contracting Officer at U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland (70Z030), where they oversee the acquisition of facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization services critical to operational readiness across the Great Lakes region. Responsible for managing full lifecycle procurement actions, Leeper specializes in construction-related contracts that ensure compliance with federal building codes, environmental standards, and energy efficiency mandates. Their portfolio primarily supports building envelope repairs, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and long-term asset preservation initiatives, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to maintain resilient, mission-critical infrastructure. Leeper maintains a streamlined contracting approach with a broad base of qualified commercial vendors, particularly those specializing in masonry, stone, and construction materials distribution. While no single contractor dominates their award portfolio, they consistently engage with merchant wholesalers possessing proven experience in delivering durable, code-compliant building materials under strict federal procurement guidelines. Their working relationships are characterized by reliability, technical specificity, and adherence to delivery timelines essential for maintaining Coast Guard facility operations with minimal disruption. Leeper’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside preference, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests an emphasis on technical capability, material quality, and supply chain efficiency over socioeconomic criteria, though small businesses remain eligible and may compete on equal footing under full and open competition requirements. Their procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 423320—Brick, Stone, and Related Construction Material Merchant Wholesalers—demonstrating deep expertise in sourcing high-performance masonry, structural stone, and allied construction materials. Leeper’s technical domain centers on material specifications, durability standards, and compliance with ASTM and ICC codes, ensuring that all procured goods support the structural integrity and long-term sustainability of Coast Guard installations.
