Leigh A Walker

Leigh A. Walker serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition programs supporting critical Navy and Marine Corps infrastructure across the Mid-Atlantic region. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain combat-ready facilities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facilities support services and general engineering support contracts, including construction management, maintenance operations, and mission-critical utility system upgrades. Walker plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategies with naval operational readiness goals, ensuring timely delivery of resilient infrastructure through disciplined contract administration and risk mitigation. She maintains established working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Ryan Construction Co. Inc., Weeks-Cashman JV, Appledore Marine - CH2M JV, W.M. Jordan Company, Incorporated, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in naval construction, environmental remediation, and base infrastructure sustainment. Walker fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting environments that emphasize quality control, schedule adherence, and compliance with military construction standards. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting, Walker consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately 80% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 20% competitively awarded to 8(a) certified firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining high standards of performance and accountability. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, encompassing a broad range of technical and administrative support functions, and NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), which includes custodial, groundskeeping, and facility operations services. This specialization underscores her expertise in sustaining mission-critical installations through integrated, service-based contracting solutions.
