Al Crace

Al Crace serves as a SLED (State, Local, and Tribal) procurement professional responsible for managing public infrastructure and logistics acquisitions. Though his specific agency affiliation is not disclosed, his role centers on executing complex contracts for critical public works and municipal services, aligning with state and local government objectives to modernize utilities and transportation systems. He typically handles solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and state-specific procurement codes, focusing on construction, environmental infrastructure, and moving services. His work ensures compliance with federal mandates while supporting local economic development through transparent, competitive contracting processes. Crace’s contractor relationships are characterized by broad market engagement across general contractors, specialized utility builders, and logistics providers. He routinely interacts with firms experienced in water and sewer line installation, sewage treatment facility construction, and household goods relocation services. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, his procurement patterns indicate a preference for qualified, pre-vetted contractors with proven track records in public infrastructure delivery. His approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based contracting, and adherence to safety and environmental standards. Crace’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and ensure value through broad-based competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process remains fully compliant with all federal and state socioeconomic requirements, maintaining equity and transparency in all solicitations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction) and 221320 (Sewage Treatment Facilities), each representing 40% of his activity, alongside 20% in 484210 (Moving Services). He specializes in large-scale civil infrastructure projects and municipal logistics, demonstrating deep expertise in utility system upgrades, wastewater management, and transportation-related relocation services.
