Marika LeVo

Marika LeVo serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5270 18 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical infrastructure contracts that sustain airfield operations and facility resilience across the Indo-Pacific region. Her work directly supports the agency’s core mandate to ensure continuous force projection through rapid airfield damage repair, grounds maintenance, and facility integrity programs. She specializes in acquiring remediation and environmental restoration services essential to maintaining operational readiness under austere conditions, often coordinating with contractors to deliver time-sensitive, high-stakes solutions in theater. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Air Force’s emphasis on expeditionary infrastructure and long-term sustainability. LeVo maintains established working relationships with two primary contractors—GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD.—both of which provide specialized expertise in military-grade environmental remediation, hazardous material handling, and airfield infrastructure restoration. These partnerships are characterized by consistent, repeat engagement, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven experience in complex, geographically constrained operational environments. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, technical proficiency, and rapid response capability, often leveraging long-term agreements to ensure continuity of mission support. LeVo’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on selecting the most technically qualified and operationally capable vendors, regardless of socioeconomic status, to meet urgent and high-risk mission requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, the selection process remains transparent and compliant with all federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), encompassing soil and groundwater cleanup, hazardous waste management, asbestos abatement, and contaminated site restoration. She consistently procures services that enable the Air Force to maintain compliant, safe, and mission-ready installations in environmentally sensitive and high-tempo operational zones, demonstrating deep expertise in defense environmental compliance and expeditionary infrastructure support.
