Christine R. Leonard

Christine R. Leonard serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4613 90 Cons Pk, where she plays a critical role in securing the sustainment and modernization of remote missile field and launch facility infrastructure. Her procurement activities focus on ensuring operational readiness through the acquisition of specialized equipment, maintenance services, and technical systems essential to nuclear deterrence missions. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, primarily handling complex, mission-critical acquisitions for surveillance, control, utility, and security systems supporting hardened, geographically dispersed defense sites. Leonard maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including OLGOONIK SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS, LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and SAFEWARE INC., each of which provides niche engineering, systems integration, and facility maintenance services tailored to high-security environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense infrastructure, often leveraging performance-based service contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure responsive, long-term support. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions—reflecting a 90% no set-aside rate—she consistently allocates approximately 10% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission exigencies. Her socioeconomic contracting approach prioritizes capability over certification, aligning with the agency’s need for technically proficient, low-risk partners. Her primary NAICS focus includes 334519 for specialized measuring and control devices, 337215 for secure storage and containment systems, and 423490 for professional equipment distribution—all reflective of her technical domain in hardened infrastructure sustainment. She procures industrial-grade components, environmental monitoring systems, and mission-critical hardware, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-grade specifications and supply chain integrity requirements for remote, high-threat locations.
