Leonard J. Horniak

Leonard J. Horniak serves as a Contract Specialist within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain critical space launch and test infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facilities support and engineering services, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements. His acquisitions directly enable operational readiness by securing essential maintenance, utilities, security, and technical support services that underpin national security space operations. Horniak specializes in non-personal services contracts, including construction-related site development, pest management, logistics, and tactical supply solutions. Horniak maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for infrastructure upgrades, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for specialized technical support, and KING FREIGHT LLC and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for logistics and supply chain enablement. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned vendors with proven capabilities in high-security, mission-critical environments. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes over transactional vendor relationships. Horniak’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 37.5% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority—62.5%—are open to all competitors. He actively leverages small business set-asides to promote competition and capacity building among qualified small entities, though he does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, indicating a broader focus on overall small business participation rather than targeted socioeconomic categories. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), accounting for 83.3% of his portfolio, encompassing facility maintenance, groundskeeping, utilities management, and infrastructure resilience projects. The remaining 16.7% falls under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he procures specialized engineering support for facility modernization, environmental compliance, and technical systems integration. His expertise centers on sustaining aging space infrastructure through mission-critical, performance-driven acquisitions.
