Jamie Leonard

Jamie Leonard serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. With a focus on technical and infrastructure services, Leonard ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Their portfolio primarily includes complex, performance-based contracts for research and development, as well as specialized construction services, requiring deep subject matter expertise in scientific, engineering, and building systems procurement. Leonard cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly small businesses and technical service providers capable of delivering specialized R&D and skilled trade services. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Leonard consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in physical sciences research, electrical systems installation, and HVAC contracting. Their approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability, fostering transparent and results-driven vendor partnerships grounded in FAR compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Leonard consistently applies Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of their acquisitions reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity and promote workforce development through socioeconomic contracting. While no other set-aside categories are predominant, their pattern demonstrates a sustained commitment to expanding access for small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms in technical and construction sectors. Leonard’s procurement focus centers on three key NAICS categories: 541712 for physical and engineering research services, 238210 for electrical contracting, and 238220 for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems. This triad reflects expertise in both scientific innovation and critical infrastructure support. Their acquisitions frequently involve complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical evaluation of engineering solutions, compliance with building codes, and integration of emerging technologies into operational environments.
