Donna Leketa

Donna Leketa serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support critical military infrastructure and facility operations. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the Department of the Army’s W912DR code, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with mission-critical infrastructure needs. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, real estate services, and facility support contracts, with a strong emphasis on delivering durable, mission-ready environments across federal installations. She works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to define requirements, conduct market research, and execute competitive acquisitions that meet operational readiness goals. Donna maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in civil works, maritime infrastructure, and institutional construction. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and long-term vendor reliability, often resulting in repeat engagements with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency and compliance with federal standards. Donna’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that prioritize capability and capacity over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring that the most qualified entities—regardless of size or certification—are selected based on technical merit and past performance. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she maintains transparency and equitable access in all solicitations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532420 (Office Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 531390 (Other Real Estate Activities), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 236210 (Industrial Building Construction). She specializes in acquiring facility maintenance, grounds management, construction, and infrastructure support services essential to sustaining military readiness and federal property operations.
