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 military infrastructure and ensure environmental compliance. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions, Molina oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for facility upgrades, remediation projects, and institutional building services. Their work directly enables operational readiness by securing critical engineering and construction capabilities across defense and civil works sites, aligning acquisitions with federal regulations and strategic resilience goals. Molina maintains consistent relationships with a core group of 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 established firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction, environmental remediation, and facility modernization. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of delivering technically complex, regulated projects under tight operational timelines, often involving coordination with federal environmental and safety standards. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (75% no set-aside), Molina demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 25% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes competition while actively fostering opportunities for qualified small businesses in the defense construction and engineering sectors. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant emphasis on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services). This specialization underscores deep expertise in managing projects involving structural upgrades, site remediation, and integrated engineering design—critical domains for sustaining military installation integrity and environmental stewardship.
