Leanna C. Lesefka

Leanna C. Lesefka serves as a secondary procurement representative within the W072 Endist Pittsburgh office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain critical civil infrastructure. Her role involves assisting in the planning, solicitation, and administration of contracts for infrastructure maintenance and environmental services, with a focus on landscaping, waste management, and utility-related construction support. She operates within a structured acquisition framework aligned with FAR Part 19 and agency-specific procurement policies, ensuring compliance while facilitating timely delivery of essential services to federal water resource facilities. Lesefka collaborates closely with a core group of established contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and C.J. MAHAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LLC, who provide specialized site development and civil works support. Her working relationships reflect a preference for experienced, regionally based vendors with proven track records in federal infrastructure projects. These partnerships are typically sustained over multiple contract cycles, indicating a focus on reliability, performance history, and continuity in service delivery. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and 8(a) set-asides are also actively utilized, reflecting a deliberate effort to promote socioeconomic equity in federal contracting. This pattern underscores a strategic alignment with Army Corps priorities to empower diverse vendors while maintaining operational readiness. Lesefka’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), which dominates her portfolio, followed by solid waste collection (562111) and electrical installation (238210). She routinely procures services related to grounds maintenance, erosion control, debris removal, and facility utility support for dams, levees, and navigation channels—domains requiring technical expertise in environmental compliance and federal construction standards.
