Lakeisha Gamble

LaKeisha N. Gamble serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement for specialized medical, facility, and communications infrastructure services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and aligning acquisitions with strategic modernization goals. She routinely manages complex contracts for technical equipment and support services essential to operational environments, balancing regulatory rigor with mission urgency to deliver timely, compliant solutions. Gamble maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility maintenance, medical equipment support, and communications system integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, past performance, and responsiveness to dynamic operational requirements. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 45% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, alongside a modest but intentional focus on Women-Owned Small Businesses. While over half of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand the defense industrial base among economically disadvantaged and underrepresented firms. Gamble’s technical expertise centers on NAICS categories related to medical and communications equipment manufacturing, including 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus), and 334290 (Other Communications Equipment). She specializes in procuring electrotherapeutic devices, diagnostic instrumentation, and mission-critical audio/video and peripheral computing systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical specifications and compliance standards governing defense medical and communications infrastructure.
