LaBreesha B. Batey

LaBreesha B. Batey serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions in national security and advanced technology domains. She plays a pivotal role in executing full lifecycle procurement processes—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and mission-critical requirements. Her work supports high-priority aerospace and defense initiatives, with a focus on ensuring timely, transparent, and legally sound contract execution. She routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and sealed-bid acquisitions for research, development, and manufacturing services critical to space systems and missile technology programs. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Batey maintains professional relationships with a broad spectrum of defense contractors and research institutions specializing in space systems, propulsion technologies, and advanced engineering R&D. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, competitive fairness, and strict adherence to FAR guidelines, fostering collaborative partnerships with industry leaders capable of delivering cutting-edge capabilities under stringent performance and security standards. Batey’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a strategic focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with mission needs that require specialized expertise not always available within small business pools. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her processes remain fully compliant with all socioeconomic contracting regulations and emphasize equal opportunity for qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 927110 (Space Research and Technology), 336414 and 336415 (guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing and propulsion systems), and 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences). She specializes in acquiring advanced propulsion components, space-based sensor systems, hypersonic technology prototypes, and applied engineering research services, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in aerospace systems development and national defense innovation.
