Jorge De Leon

Jorge De Leon serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the energy infrastructure sector, with a primary focus on petroleum refining operations. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting activities, from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. He plays a critical part in advancing the agency’s mission to secure reliable, safe, and efficient energy infrastructure services, consistently aligning procurements with national energy security objectives. His portfolio is narrowly concentrated on technical services and capital improvements tied to petroleum refinery systems, requiring deep domain expertise in industrial engineering and process safety management. De Leon’s contractor relationships are primarily with firms possessing specialized capabilities in refinery maintenance, process optimization, and environmental compliance systems. While no single vendor dominates his award history, he engages a diverse pool of qualified contractors, including those with experience in hazardous material handling, pipeline integrity monitoring, and refinery automation technologies. His approach emphasizes technical competency and regulatory adherence over volume-based vendor relationships, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting stringent operational and safety standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, De Leon consistently structures solicitations to maximize opportunities under the Small Business Set-Aside program, with 55.6% of his awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic inclusion and cultivate a robust small business base capable of supporting critical energy infrastructure needs. His contracting patterns show minimal use of other socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a focused preference for broad small business eligibility over niche categories. His procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 324110, Petroleum Refineries, demonstrating deep specialization in the technical, operational, and regulatory demands of the refining industry. He procures services such as equipment overhaul, process control system upgrades, emissions monitoring, and refinery turnaround support—requiring expertise in industrial safety standards, hydrocarbon processing, and EPA compliance frameworks.
