Susie Lee

Susie M. Lee serves as a Contract Specialist within Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support agency of the Department of Defense responsible for delivering enterprise-wide administrative and operational services. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while advancing WHS’s mission to modernize defense infrastructure and optimize institutional management systems. Her acquisitions primarily focus on professional services, including management consulting, environmental planning, and information technology solutions, supporting DoD-wide efficiency and digital transformation initiatives. Lee maintains established relationships with a core group of vendors, including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, non-traditional defense contractors with proven capabilities in federal administrative support, facility modernization, and strategic consulting. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on firms with deep domain expertise in institutional operations rather than defense-specific manufacturing or systems integration. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 89.2% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on mission-critical needs requiring specialized technical or managerial capabilities. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 10.8% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising acquisition agility or expertise requirements. Lee’s primary NAICS focus lies in Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (541611), followed by Environmental Consulting Services (541620) and Computer Systems Design Services (541512). She also procures specialized services in analytical laboratory instrumentation and hospitality support for DoD facilities, indicating a broad yet targeted approach to acquiring high-value professional services that sustain the defense enterprise’s administrative backbone.
