Leslie A. McManious

Leslie A. McManious serves as a Contract Administrator for the FA4626 341st Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition and administration of critical civil engineering and infrastructure support contracts. Her role is central to sustaining mission-ready facilities across Air Force installations, ensuring the timely delivery of services related to HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural maintenance. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation and source selection to contract award and closeout—focusing on performance-based, firm-fixed-price contracts that prioritize operational continuity and facility resilience. McManious works closely with engineering and facilities teams to translate technical requirements into enforceable contractual deliverables aligned with Air Force installation readiness standards. Her primary contractor relationships center on MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a trusted vendor with deep expertise in industrial heating systems and steam infrastructure. She maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with specialty trade contractors capable of delivering complex, on-site facility upgrades under tight operational constraints. These relationships are characterized by proven performance, compliance with federal construction standards, and responsiveness to mission-critical timelines, reflecting a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with demonstrated reliability in austere environments. McManious’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a strategic focus on competition based on technical merit and operational capability rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with federal procurement regulations and emphasizes value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic categorization. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with significant activity in 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors). She specializes in procuring services for the repair, replacement, and modernization of mission-critical utility systems, demonstrating technical fluency in building mechanical systems, energy efficiency upgrades, and facility infrastructure modernization.
