Lesha N Jones

Lesha N Jones serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Director office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical industrial maintenance, analytical instrumentation, and technical services essential to sustaining Army laboratory and field operations. Responsible for managing contracts that ensure the precision, reliability, and operational readiness of scientific and calibration systems, Jones specializes in procurements that support defense-critical infrastructure, including preventive maintenance, equipment calibration, and facility systems upkeep. Their acquisitions directly enable the continuity of high-stakes scientific testing and measurement capabilities vital to national defense. Jones maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including EXACT MACHINE SERVICE, INC., MARS LABS LLC, KODEX, INC., and CLEAR ARMOR, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep expertise in electronic and industrial equipment repair, precision instrumentation services, and mission-specific technical support. The working relationship patterns emphasize technical proficiency, responsiveness to calibration schedules, and compliance with military-grade quality standards, indicating a focus on long-term vendor reliability over transactional sourcing. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Jones’s contracting approach, with 83.3% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small, technically capable firms capable of delivering specialized maintenance and analytical services. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are dominant, the consistent reliance on small business vendors signals a robust ecosystem built on capability, not just compliance. Jones’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), reflecting expertise in calibrating and servicing laboratory-grade instruments, followed by 811310 for industrial machinery maintenance. Additional emphasis on plumbing, HVAC, and water systems (NAICS 238220 and 221310) demonstrates a holistic approach to sustaining mission-critical facilities. Their domain expertise lies in ensuring the operational integrity of scientific and technical infrastructure through precision maintenance and compliance-driven contracting.
