Ledra Post

Ledra Post serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of Acquisition Management at the Federal Transit Administration, where they play a pivotal role in executing compliant, mission-critical acquisitions that support federal transit program integrity. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation through award and administration—Post ensures alignment with FAR regulations and agency priorities in financial oversight, project evaluation, and administrative support. Their portfolio primarily consists of advisory and technical services contracts essential to sustaining the operational and fiscal accountability of grant-funded transit initiatives across the nation. Post’s contractor relationships center on professional services firms delivering administrative management consulting, custom software development, and computer facilities management. While no single vendor dominates their award profile, they consistently engage with a diverse pool of contractors, including small businesses and specialized IT service providers, fostering collaborative, performance-based partnerships grounded in transparency and regulatory compliance. Their procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly one-third of acquisitions set aside for small business categories—equally distributed between Total Small Business Set-Asides and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for veteran-owned enterprises and small business participants while maintaining competitive, open competition for the majority of requirements. Post’s technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting a primary need for strategic advisory support in transit program governance. Complementary acquisitions in custom computer programming (541511) and computer facilities management (541513) indicate expertise in integrating technology-enabled solutions to enhance operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making within federally funded transit systems.
