Florence Marie Leo

Florence Marie Leo serves as a Contract Administrator for FA4613 90 Cons Pk within the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions critical to the sustainment and modernization of remote missile field infrastructure and launch facilities. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for maintenance, technical services, and specialized construction support essential to nuclear deterrence missions. She routinely handles complex, mission-critical acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 36, ensuring compliance with defense-specific standards while maintaining operational readiness across geographically dispersed sites. Leo maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense infrastructure maintenance, cybersecurity-enabled facility systems, and mission-critical logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical specificity, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and mission alignment. A strong advocate for small business participation, Leo consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with 87.5% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms to contribute to national defense infrastructure. Her pattern of set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with Department of Defense mandates to broaden the industrial base and enhance resilience through diverse supplier engagement. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes including 611420 for computer training, 339920 for sporting and athletic goods manufacturing, and 811310 for industrial machinery repair—indicative of a broad yet niche portfolio that supports both personnel readiness and facility sustainment. While some categories may appear unconventional, they reflect the unique operational needs of remote missile sites, including specialized training, safety equipment, and maintenance of non-standard utility systems. Leo’s expertise lies in aligning technical requirements with appropriate contracting vehicles to ensure mission success across austere environments.
