Thomas C. Lemole

Thomas C. Lemole serves as a Contract Specialist and Logistics Management professional, responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering complex procurement actions to support operational readiness and mission-critical services. Within the agency’s acquisition framework, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while optimizing value, efficiency, and accountability across the procurement lifecycle. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, logistical support, and facility-related contracts, often requiring coordination between technical stakeholders, program offices, and legal counsel to align requirements with statutory and regulatory mandates. Lemole cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including engineering firms, security service providers, and general support contractors. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven performance histories and robust compliance infrastructure. He engages both large-capability firms and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize quality, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness without compromising regulatory integrity. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 80% of actions conducted as non-set-aside procurements under FAR Part 15. Nevertheless, he consistently reserves 20% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation under FAR 19.5. Though he does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his reliance on small business set-asides underscores a dedication to broad-based economic opportunity and marketplace diversity. Lemole’s primary technical focus lies in Engineering Services (NAICS 541330), where he procures design, analysis, and systems integration support. He also frequently acquires Security Guards and Patrol Services (NAICS 561612) and general Support Services (NAICS 561990), indicating expertise in both technical and operational domains. Additional activity in real estate services and educational support reflects a broad, mission-driven procurement approach tailored to diverse agency needs.
