Alan D. Levy

Alan D. Levy serves as a Contracting Officer within the GSA/FSS Office of Supply Center – Office Equipment, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical office supplies, packaging materials, and specialized manufacturing products that support federal administrative operations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA’s mission to sustain efficient, scalable supply chains across the federal government. He primarily manages commercial item acquisitions under GSA Schedule contracts and other streamlined authorities, with a focus on high-volume, low-dollar-value items essential to daily government operations. Levy maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships, engaging primarily with manufacturers and distributors of office-related goods, including producers of corrugated packaging, plastic containers, and printed materials. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with a diverse pool of suppliers ranging from large industrial manufacturers to niche specialty firms, emphasizing reliability, compliance, and delivery performance. His contracting approach prioritizes competitive sourcing and efficient contract vehicle utilization to meet agency-wide demand without compromising quality or timeliness. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 90% of actions conducted without set-asides. However, he actively supports small business participation, dedicating approximately 10% of his awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a measurable commitment to fostering economic opportunity among qualified small manufacturers. Levy’s primary NAICS focus areas include corrugated and solid fiber box manufacturing, miscellaneous manufacturing, and plastics bag and bottle production—domains critical to packaging, storage, and distribution of federal office supplies. His technical expertise lies in understanding material specifications, production capabilities, and compliance with federal packaging standards, enabling him to effectively evaluate bids and ensure procurement outcomes align with operational needs.
