Leslie A Fedler

Leslie A. Fedler serves as a key procurement professional within the W7MZ Uspfo Activity Ct Arng, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining operational readiness through logistics, infrastructure, and personnel support services. Fedler manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on food services, facility maintenance, communications equipment, and administrative support, ensuring mission-critical resources are procured efficiently to sustain deployed and garrisoned forces. Their work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities of troop welfare and modernized field operations, with a focus on timely, compliant contract execution under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Fedler maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large-scale food service providers, facility maintenance contractors, and specialty manufacturers of perishable prepared foods and field equipment. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, Fedler consistently engages both prime contractors and subcontractors to meet dynamic operational demands, fostering a vendor ecosystem that balances scalability with responsiveness. Working relationships are characterized by performance-based contracting and strict adherence to quality assurance protocols for mission-critical services. Fedler’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 76.2% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, there is meaningful engagement with small businesses, particularly through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 (21.1%), with modest but consistent participation from Women-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising operational readiness. The agency’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in food service and facility support sectors, with primary NAICS codes including 721110 (hotels and motels), 311999 (miscellaneous food manufacturing), and 311991 (perishable prepared food). Fedler’s expertise lies in managing complex, high-volume requirements for meal provisioning, field kitchen operations, and logistical support systems, demonstrating deep technical knowledge in defense-fed supply chain operations and nutritionally compliant food service procurement.
