Christopher D. LeShoure

Christopher D. LeShoure serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting mission-critical technology and maintenance services. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical contracts for specialized equipment, aerospace components, and maintenance support services, requiring a deep understanding of technical specifications, source selection criteria, and performance-based contracting methodologies. LeShoure’s work ensures timely and lawful delivery of essential capabilities to support national defense and operational readiness. LeShoure engages with a diverse range of contractors, including manufacturers of aeronautical systems, navigation instrumentation, and technical maintenance providers. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently collaborates with firms possessing specialized technical certifications and demonstrated capability in precision manufacturing and system integration. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and rigorous contract oversight to ensure deliverables meet stringent operational standards. LeShoure’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, though he remains fully compliant with all small business programs and actively considers qualified small businesses when they meet technical requirements. His approach prioritizes mission need and value over socioeconomic targets, aligning with agency priorities that demand specialized, high-performance solutions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811219 (Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance), which accounts for half of his activity, reflecting significant involvement in maintenance and repair services for complex equipment. He also frequently procures under NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems, avionics, and mission-critical instrumentation. His technical domain knowledge enables effective evaluation of engineering specifications and supplier qualifications in highly regulated industries.
