SSgt Travis Leffert

Travis Leffert serves as a key procurement professional within the 771 Enterprise Sourcing Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing enterprise-level acquisitions of professional and technical support services critical to Air Force mission readiness. He specializes in securing surveying, mapping, and environmental consulting services that underpin installation resilience, infrastructure planning, and operational sustainment. His acquisitions directly support command and control modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and environmental compliance across Air Force bases, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities in geospatial intelligence and environmental stewardship. Leffert maintains a broad network of qualified vendors specializing in geospatial data collection, topographic surveying, and environmental impact assessment services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he routinely engages both large professional services firms and small businesses with niche technical expertise in airborne LiDAR, GIS integration, and environmental remediation planning. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation under FAR Part 15, fostering collaboration with vendors capable of delivering high-accuracy, mission-critical data under strict security and compliance standards. His procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of actions awarded without set-aside, while maintaining a deliberate 20% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance ensures access to specialized capabilities while actively promoting small business participation across the technical services spectrum. He does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, instead favoring capability-based selection within the small business pool. Leffert’s primary focus lies in NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services) and NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), driving procurements for geospatial data acquisition, aerial imagery analysis, soil and water quality assessments, and environmental compliance documentation. His domain expertise centers on technical services that inform infrastructure planning, base expansion, and environmental restoration efforts, ensuring Air Force installations meet federal regulatory requirements while enhancing operational readiness.
