Carlos M Ledezma

Carlos M. Ledezma serves as Supervisory Contract Specialist at the W7N3 USPFO Activity UT ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining Army National Guard readiness through strategic procurement. In this leadership role, he oversees the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—spanning solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration—for mission-critical equipment, services, and infrastructure. His portfolio emphasizes modernization of command and control systems, fitness and recreational readiness assets, and secure communications infrastructure, ensuring National Guard units remain operationally prepared. Ledezma routinely manages complex acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, balancing efficiency with compliance in a dynamic operational environment. Ledezma maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AKIMA Readiness Support LLC, Compass Medical Provider LLC, RMRM, Inc., vCloud Gov Inc., and Phoenix Health & Fitness Solutions, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrated readiness solutions—ranging from medical and fitness services to cloud-based IT infrastructure and logistics support. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative, performance-driven relationships that align with the agency’s sustainment mission. Set-asides are used sparingly, with 93.8% of awards issued as unrestricted acquisitions, reflecting a preference for broad competition to ensure optimal capability and cost-effectiveness. While small business set-asides account for only 6.3% of awards, Ledezma actively encourages participation through mentorship and outreach, ensuring socioeconomic programs like Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 remain viable pathways for qualified vendors without compromising mission requirements. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 611420 (Computer Training), reflecting strong demand for cybersecurity and technical workforce development. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 713940 (Fitness and Recreational Sports Centers), 624221 (Temporary Shelters), and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), underscoring expertise in procurement for both human readiness and facility sustainment. Ledezma’s technical domain knowledge spans IT-enabled training systems, modular infrastructure, and health & wellness services critical to National Guard operational continuity.
