William Leslie

William Leslie serves as a Program Manager and Contracting Officer’s Representative, playing a pivotal role in overseeing the execution and compliance of technical and trade education contracts. In this dual capacity, he ensures that contractual deliverables align with program objectives, monitors contractor performance, and provides critical oversight to maintain adherence to federal acquisition regulations. His responsibilities include evaluating technical proposals, managing contract modifications, and coordinating with program stakeholders to ensure mission-critical training services are delivered effectively. Leslie specializes in non-commercial, performance-based acquisitions for workforce development initiatives, typically handling task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under the authority of the Contracting Officer. While specific contractor names are not available, Leslie maintains a broad network of vendors capable of delivering specialized technical and trade instruction services. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on institutional providers with demonstrated expertise in curriculum development, instructor credentialing, and facility-based vocational training. He engages with both large educational service providers and niche firms possessing deep domain knowledge in skilled trades, ensuring competitive, high-quality service delivery across the acquisition lifecycle. Leslie’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While he does not prioritize designated small business categories, his approach emphasizes capability, past performance, and compliance over socioeconomic status, aligning with agency needs for specialized technical training. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 611519—Other Technical and Trade Schools—indicating deep specialization in vocational, career, and technical education services. He procures curriculum design, instructor-led training, certification preparation, apprenticeship coordination, and related support services for skilled trades such as welding, electrical systems, HVAC, and industrial maintenance. His technical domain expertise lies in workforce readiness programs that bridge industry standards with federal training requirements.
