Leslie Robertson

Leslie Robertson serves as a procurement specialist within the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD), supporting the Office of Procurement Operations at the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, Robertson facilitates the acquisition of professional and technical services critical to modernizing the agency’s digital infrastructure and administrative systems. Their responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with mission-critical priorities in IT modernization, data optimization, and workforce capability enhancement. Robertson primarily handles non-personal services contracts for specialized technical support, digital tools, and photographic equipment procurement, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. Robertson maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in photographic equipment distribution and computer-related professional services. While no single contractor dominates the award profile, the procurement pattern reflects consistent engagement with merchant wholesalers of photographic supplies and firms offering niche IT support, including systems integration and data management services. These partnerships are typically established through competitive sealed bidding and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, emphasizing value, technical capability, and timely delivery over sole-source arrangements. Robertson’s contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on broad market access rather than socioeconomic targeting. There is no evidence of prioritization for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business programs, suggesting that selection is driven primarily by technical merit and market readiness rather than socioeconomic criteria. The primary NAICS focus areas are 423410 for photographic equipment and supplies wholesale distribution and 541519 for other computer-related services. This reflects a dual specialization in procuring imaging hardware and peripherals alongside technical services such as software support, systems maintenance, and digital workflow solutions. Robertson’s expertise lies at the intersection of operational logistics and information technology, ensuring that the agency’s physical and digital asset bases remain interoperable, secure, and mission-ready.
