Catherine M. Lee

Catherine M. Lee supports mission-critical procurement operations for the FA4814 6 Cons Pk unit under the Department of the Air Force, ensuring the timely acquisition of services essential to personnel readiness, communications infrastructure, and base sustainment. She manages a diverse portfolio of contract actions spanning administrative support, IT systems, facility services, and professional training solutions, aligning acquisitions with Air Force operational tempo requirements. Her role centers on executing full and open competitions while integrating socioeconomic goals into the procurement lifecycle, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific directives. Lee maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including SUPPLYCORE LLC, CYBERPROTEX, LLC, and Liberty Communications, Inc., reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in secure communications, IT management, and logistical support services. Her contracting patterns indicate strong collaboration with firms capable of delivering scalable, mission-aligned solutions across both garrisoned and deployed environments, often requiring compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards and rapid deployment capabilities. Her procurement strategy prioritizes full and open competition, with 60% of awards issued without set-aside, yet she maintains a robust commitment to small business participation, allocating approximately one-third of contracts to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 6.7% to 8(a) competed awards. This balanced approach ensures market competition while actively advancing socioeconomic contracting objectives. Lee’s primary NAICS focus areas include Administrative Management Consulting (541611), Software Publishing (511210), Janitorial Services (561720), and Drycleaning and Laundry Services (812320), underscoring her expertise in procuring non-core but mission-enabling services. She frequently acquires office furniture manufacturing (337214) and digital infrastructure solutions that support administrative efficiency and daily operations across Air Force installations.
