Lesley S. Odom

Lesley S. Odom serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Knox, a critical support element of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining troop readiness through hospitality, food service, and recreational infrastructure. Odom manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance quality of life and operational continuity for military personnel and their families. Their work encompasses the full lifecycle of contracts for lodging, dining, recreational equipment, and support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing mission-critical delivery timelines and fiscal accountability. Odom’s acquisitions directly enable morale, training sustainment, and force readiness across garrison and expeditionary environments. Odom maintains enduring relationships with a select group of trusted contractors, including CHENEGA GOVERNMENT MISSION SOLUTIONS, LLC, OCS-NCS JV II, LLC, and SPACE AGE ENGINEERING, INC., among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of delivering integrated hospitality and operational support solutions, from custom apparel and facility maintenance to specialized recreational equipment and digital content services. The contracting pattern emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based service delivery, and responsiveness to dynamic garrison requirements, with a strong emphasis on reliability and mission alignment. Odom demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business programs. All procurements are intentionally designed to foster competitive, inclusive contracting environments that align with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals and promote resilience in the defense industrial base. The primary NAICS focus areas include 333316 (Industrial Machinery Manufacturing), 511210 (Software Publishers), 519130 (Internet Publishing and Broadcasting), 532412 (Construction and Mining Equipment Rental), and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection). These reflect a technical domain spanning facility operations, digital content delivery, equipment leasing, and environmental services—all essential to sustaining modern military installations. Odom’s expertise lies in integrating these diverse capabilities into cohesive, mission-driven support systems.
