Leah Caldwell

Leah Caldwell serves as a secondary contracting representative within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition and management of critical infrastructure and installation support services across the Western United States. She facilitates the execution of construction, environmental, and facility lifecycle contracts aligned with the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and supporting the planning and award of complex civil engineering and facility modernization projects. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in enabling timely and compliant procurement outcomes for mission-critical installations. Caldwell maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of regional contractors, including Mckenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Far West Contractors Corp, and Aleut Construction LLC, all of which specialize in heavy civil construction and installation support. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in military facility environments and Western U.S. terrain challenges. Her procurement patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with demonstrated performance in complex, multi-year projects involving site development, utilities, and environmental remediation. Her contracting activity is predominantly unset-aside, with 77.8% of awards issued under open competition, yet she actively supports small business participation through a consistent 22.2% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for qualified small businesses in the construction and engineering sectors. Caldwell’s portfolio centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in landscaping, engineering services, power and communication line construction, and commercial/institutional building. Her technical focus lies in infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and facility lifecycle management, requiring deep familiarity with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal environmental regulations.
