Leah Sauceda-Jeppe

Leah Sauceda-Jeppe serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Riley under the Department of the Army’s W911RX organization, supporting the readiness and sustainment of Army installations through strategic acquisition of facilities and operational support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on infrastructure maintenance, utility services, and mission-critical equipment leasing, ensuring Army bases remain secure, functional, and habitable. Her acquisitions span technical domains including surveying, mapping, battery manufacturing, and specialized support services, aligning with the agency’s mandate to maintain operational continuity across military installations. She maintains a primary working relationship with CHENEGA BASE & LOGISTICS SERVICES LLC, a trusted contractor providing integrated base operations support, while engaging with a broader network of small vendors for niche capabilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability and mission alignment, favoring long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in installation sustainment and rapid-response service delivery. Vendor engagement is structured to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations and consistent performance metrics. Leah demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to foster small business growth while maintaining flexibility for complex, mission-essential requirements. Her contracting practices consistently prioritize small business participation without compromising operational needs. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 541370 (surveying and mapping), 335910 (battery manufacturing), 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing), 561990 (all other support services), and 488119 (other airport operations). These reflect a multidisciplinary procurement profile supporting both physical infrastructure and advanced logistics systems critical to Army installation readiness. Her expertise lies in bridging technical specifications with operational requirements across diverse, mission-critical domains.
