LeAnna Stith

LeAnna Stith serves as a key procurement professional within the Aousc-Procurement Management Division of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, supporting the modernization of federal court operations through strategic acquisition of critical technology and administrative services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on cybersecurity infrastructure, courtroom technology systems, and workforce training solutions, ensuring alignment with the judiciary’s mission to maintain operational integrity and technological resilience. Her acquisitions typically involve complex, mission-critical services requiring compliance with federal information security standards and scalable digital architecture. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Stith engages with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in secure IT infrastructure, testing and evaluation services, and specialized software development. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and vendor accountability, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-assurance solutions under stringent federal compliance frameworks. She maintains a vendor-neutral stance, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and adherence to NIST and FISMA guidelines over preferred vendor lists. Stith’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing competition and value through full and open procurement, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she remains compliant with all federal small business goals and may incorporate small business subcontracting requirements where contract structure permits. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). These reflect a technical domain spanning cybersecurity testing, specialized hardware support, and custom software development for judicial workflows. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-enabling services that ensure secure, reliable, and interoperable systems for federal court operations.
