Leigh Ann Nunn

Leigh A. Nunn serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions across industrial and manufacturing domains. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical acquisitions for technical goods and specialized chemical products. Her portfolio encompasses competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, including sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, with a focus on industrial supply chains requiring stringent quality controls and technical specifications. Nunn’s work directly supports the acquisition of high-integrity components and process-critical materials essential to national infrastructure and industrial operations. While specific contractor names are not available, Nunn maintains a balanced contracting approach that fosters both large-capacity manufacturers and small business suppliers. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a strong emphasis on ensuring market fairness and vendor diversity. She routinely engages with manufacturers possessing ISO-certified production capabilities and those holding relevant technical accreditations, facilitating long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and quality assurance protocols. Nunn demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though 8(a) competed set-asides represent a minimal portion of her portfolio at 0.4%, her overall approach prioritizes small business inclusion through competitive set-asides rather than sole-source mechanisms. Her contracting patterns reflect a strategic alignment with socioeconomic goals, consistently leveraging small business programs to enhance market access while maintaining rigorous technical standards. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), 325199 (Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), and 332117 (Powder Metallurgy Part Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in industrial materials and precision components. She frequently procures specialized chemical formulations, engineered metal parts, and industrial measurement systems, requiring technical knowledge of material science, process control, and regulatory compliance in manufacturing environments.
