Lekeith Lee

Lekeith Lee serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4407 375th Contracting Squadron, a critical component of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. In this role, Lee manages a diverse portfolio of facility-related acquisitions, including building operations, environmental compliance, security systems, and airfield support services. Leveraging full contracting authority under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, Lee ensures timely execution of requirements that directly support operational readiness and regulatory adherence across military installations. Their work bridges technical specifications with procurement compliance, ensuring alignment with DoD sustainability and resilience goals. Lee maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including CHALLENGE UNLIMITED, INC., JAYTECH, INC., and NORTH AMERICAN IMPORT AND EXPORT COMPANY LLC, who provide specialized services in facility maintenance, logistics, and infrastructure support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in government facility operations, often resulting in repeat engagements and long-term task order agreements under IDIQ vehicles. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, quality assurance, and compliance with OMB and DoD standards for contractor accountability. While the majority of procurements (84.6%) are conducted without set-asides, Lee demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 15.4% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic effort to expand opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical requirements. No other socioeconomic categories are prominently utilized, indicating a focus on broad-based small business engagement rather than targeted 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Lee’s primary NAICS focus includes 511210 (Software Publishers), 541720 (Research in Social Sciences and Humanities), and 611310/611699 (Educational Services), reflecting a growing need for digital infrastructure, training systems, and facility management analytics. Additionally, procurement activity in 337920 (Blind and Shade Manufacturing) suggests specialized attention to architectural and environmental controls. This blend of technical domains underscores expertise in acquiring both traditional facility services and emerging technology-enabled solutions for military installation modernization.
