Leslie B. Kramer

Leslie B. Kramer serves as a Contract Specialist within the GSA/FAS Office of Acquisition Operations, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that support the federal government’s travel and transportation infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for critical mobility solutions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Kramer focuses on securing services and equipment essential to federal travel operations, including vehicle fleets, logistics support, and related administrative systems, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and alignment with GSA’s mission to enhance operational readiness and cost efficiency across federal agencies. Kramer collaborates with a diverse array of contractors, primarily in the automotive and transportation manufacturing sectors, to deliver reliable, scalable solutions that meet federal standards for safety, sustainability, and performance. Her working relationships are characterized by structured, transparent engagement with both large prime contractors and small business vendors, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize value, innovation, and regulatory adherence. She consistently leverages GSA schedules and multiple-award contracts to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 21% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. While she does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, her portfolio consistently enables small manufacturers and service providers to compete for federal opportunities, reinforcing GSA’s broader socioeconomic goals. Kramer’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes related to motor vehicle manufacturing and distribution, particularly 441110 (New Car Dealers), 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing), and 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring commercial-off-the-shelf vehicles, specialized transport equipment, and related maintenance services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal fleet modernization, vehicle compliance standards, and supply chain resilience initiatives.
