Leslie M. Molina

Leslie M. Molina serves as a key procurement professional within the W075 Endist Albuquerque office under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to modernize and sustain critical military infrastructure. Responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for construction and facility modernization projects, Molina oversees competitive contracting actions aligned with federal acquisition regulations and Army engineering standards. Their work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of compliant, resilient infrastructure through design-build and construction services at defense installations and civil works sites. Molina maintains consistent relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including GSIA-PARSONS JV LLC, GRACEN ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION INC, ALPHA DEVELOPMENT INC., FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, and L & R COMM & CONSTRUCTION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in commercial and institutional construction, environmental remediation, and facility upgrades. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with safety and sustainability standards, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. All procurements managed by Molina are conducted under open, unrestricted competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and schedule certainty rather than socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical delivery over programmatic set-aside objectives. The primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, renovation, structural upgrades, and facility rehabilitation for military and government-owned facilities. Molina’s expertise lies in managing complex construction contracts involving architectural and engineering services, building systems integration, and compliance with military construction codes and environmental regulations, ensuring projects meet both operational and regulatory requirements.
