LaVonne D. Lee

LaVonne D. Lee serves as a Procurement Contracting Officer for W072 Endist Detroit under the Department of the Army’s W911XK organization, where she manages the acquisition of civil engineering and infrastructure support services critical to military logistics and environmental resilience. Her portfolio encompasses large-scale construction, dredging, harbor maintenance, and waterway modernization projects that sustain operational readiness across inland waterways and coastal defense systems. Lee is responsible for the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes aligned with Army civil works priorities. She maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including KOONTZ ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED, STRATUS SECURITY MANAGEMENT INC, MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC., GREAT LAKES DOCK AND MATERIALS, L.L.C., and TOGIAK MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in marine construction, electrical systems for federal facilities, security infrastructure, and specialized materials handling. Lee consistently engages these vendors through competitive, performance-based contracts that emphasize technical capability, safety compliance, and timely delivery in complex environmental settings. Lee demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, capable firms with niche expertise in civil works and infrastructure support, fostering economic opportunity while ensuring a robust, responsive vendor base. Her contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic diversity and capacity building within the small business community. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds) and 713990 (All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries), which, while seemingly unconventional, align with the agency’s stewardship of recreational and multi-use infrastructure on Army-controlled lands—such as access roads, docking facilities, and visitor services integral to base operations and public engagement. Her expertise bridges civil engineering requirements with facility management and environmental compliance in federal recreation zones.
