Leanat Delacruz

Leanat Delacruz serves as the primary procurement lead for the Navy Exchange Service Command, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to sustaining Navy and Marine Corps readiness and quality of life. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracting actions, Delacruz specializes in design-build and performance-based service contracts for facility modernization, with a concentrated focus on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems. Their work directly supports the N00250 mission to maintain and upgrade military lodging, retail, and support facilities, ensuring operational continuity through reliable, code-compliant mechanical systems. Delacruz routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 36, emphasizing technical specifications, life-cycle cost analysis, and contractor performance metrics to deliver mission-critical infrastructure. Delacruz maintains a consistent working relationship with a broad base of qualified commercial contractors specializing in commercial and military-grade HVAC and plumbing systems. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, the procurement approach prioritizes competitive bidding, pre-qualified vendor lists, and technical evaluations to ensure compliance with military standards. Partnerships are built on proven performance in facility maintenance, retrofitting legacy systems, and rapid-response service delivery across deployed and garrison environments. Delacruz’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic alignment with the Navy Exchange Service Command’s need for scalable, high-capacity vendors capable of delivering complex mechanical systems across geographically dispersed installations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic programs, all solicitations remain fully compliant with FAR small business goals and include opportunities for qualified firms to compete on an equal footing. The primary NAICS classification under Delacruz’s purview is 238220, reflecting deep expertise in mechanical systems procurement. This includes the acquisition of HVAC equipment installation, ductwork fabrication, piping networks, and integrated building automation systems. Technical expertise centers on MIL-STD compliance, energy efficiency standards, and resilience in austere environments, ensuring systems meet the demanding operational requirements of naval installations worldwide.
