LaVonne Lee

LaVonne Lee serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical and operational services supporting communications, electronic systems, and specialized instrumentation, with a strong emphasis on efficiency, transparency, and regulatory adherence. She routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, frequently leveraging simplified acquisition procedures for lower-dollar-value requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in the dataset, LaVonne Lee’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the vast majority of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. Her approach supports a broad vendor base, engaging both large-capacity prime contractors and small businesses on an equal footing, with a focus on technical capability and past performance rather than socioeconomic status alone. Her set-aside preferences show a deliberate but limited reliance on small business programs, with only 10.5% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This indicates a strategic balance between promoting small business participation and maintaining competitive integrity, avoiding over-reliance on socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, and prioritizing capability-driven procurement outcomes. LaVonne Lee’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 811219—Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance—which accounts for over 40% of her activity. She also regularly acquires specialized equipment under NAICS codes related to radio and television broadcasting, electronic component manufacturing, and instrumentation for electrical signal measurement. Her technical domain expertise lies in communications infrastructure, test and measurement systems, and avionics-related components, reflecting a deep understanding of defense and civilian technical procurement needs.
