Leisa A. Zemba

Leisa A. Zemba serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force at FA2521 45 Cons Pk, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain aerospace and base infrastructure readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, and integrated security and communications infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational requirements. Her work directly supports the operational integrity of airfield and range complexes by facilitating timely procurement of high-accuracy analytical equipment and mission-essential facility services. Zemba maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including ROBERTS TREESCAPING, LLC, THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C., CYPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC, and INTERCONNECT WIRING LLP. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in landscape management for military installations, marine construction for coastal facilities, technical services for instrumentation calibration, and specialized wiring systems for secure communications. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and vendor reliability over volume, fostering long-term collaboration with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency and compliance discipline. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Zemba prioritizes small business participation, with nearly 60% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunity for underrepresented veteran- and minority-owned firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 541990 for professional technical services, 236220 for commercial and institutional construction, and 237110 for water and sewer infrastructure, underscoring her expertise in complex, multi-disciplinary facility support projects. Zemba’s work bridges technical engineering requirements with regulatory compliance, ensuring that all acquisitions align with Air Force mission resilience goals.
