Lenae Crawford

Lenae Crawford serves as a key procurement lead within the Base National Capital Region (70Z0G8), a U.S. Coast Guard facility under the Department of Homeland Security, responsible for managing contracts that sustain critical infrastructure and operational readiness. Her work centers on acquiring facility maintenance, building systems, and environmental compliance services essential to supporting Coast Guard missions. She routinely handles service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, with a focus on performance-based contracting for building operations, HVAC modernization, and facility security enhancements. Her role ensures alignment between mission requirements and acquisition strategy to maintain secure, efficient, and compliant federal installations. Crawford collaborates primarily with small business contractors specializing in facility services, with no dominant large prime contractors identified in current award patterns. Her procurement approach emphasizes relationship-building with local and regional vendors capable of delivering responsive, mission-critical maintenance and repair services. She engages with a network of qualified small businesses that demonstrate technical proficiency in building systems and environmental compliance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and compliance with federal facility standards. She maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference across all applicable acquisitions, consistently prioritizing contracts under FAR 19.5 to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB. This reflects a deliberate, agency-aligned strategy to strengthen local economic resilience while ensuring a diverse, capable vendor base for mission-critical services. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising operational requirements. Crawford’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and NAICS 332812 (Metal Coating and Engraving Services). These reflect a strategic emphasis on facility support services, including HVAC system maintenance, building envelope integrity, and corrosion control for federal infrastructure. Her technical expertise spans mechanical systems, environmental compliance, and facility lifecycle management, ensuring acquisitions directly support the Coast Guard’s mission-critical operational posture.
