Debbie A. Leonhart serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R11 Construction Services Division Center 3 (47PM03), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions for federal facility operations and maintenance. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration—primarily supporting commercial and institutional construction projects, facility upgrades, and long-term real estate leasing initiatives. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver secure, sustainable, and mission-critical work environments for federal agencies across the nation. Leonhart collaborates with a diverse array of contractors, including both large-capacity service providers and small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced engagement with vendors capable of delivering complex facilities support and industrial maintenance services, fostering partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her work consistently involves firms with proven expertise in building systems integration, preventive maintenance, and operational support services. Her contracting approach demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with equal emphasis on 8(a) competed awards and open competition, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while maintaining competitive rigor. This 50/50 split underscores her dedication to socioeconomic goals without compromising acquisition integrity or mission readiness. Leonhart’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), where she procures comprehensive services such as HVAC and electrical system upkeep, building automation support, custodial operations, and infrastructure repair. Her domain expertise centers on sustaining the operational resilience of federal facilities through specialized, performance-based contracting solutions.
