Alan J Cooper

Alan J. Cooper serves as the primary contracting lead for the W7NU Uspfo Activity OH ARNG, a critical support element under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining Ohio Army National Guard readiness. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for logistical, facility, and subsistence services essential to garrison operations, including housing, meal support, and maintenance of training infrastructure. His procurement portfolio emphasizes mission-critical services that ensure operational continuity for reserve component units, with a focus on rapid response, regulatory compliance, and resource efficiency in austere environments. Cooper maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including Hovis Construction LLC, Arilllic LLC, MIC Industries Inc., and Columbus Corporate Caterers Inc., each providing specialized capabilities in facility maintenance, equipment rental, industrial laundry, and food service operations. His working relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in military garrison support, fostering long-term performance reliability and seamless integration with Army National Guard operational timelines. His contracting strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with over 70% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly 20% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to cultivate local and veteran-led enterprise capacity while ensuring competitive, compliant sourcing aligned with federal small business mandates. Cooper’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561990 (All Other Support Services), 812332 (Industrial Launderers), 532284 (Recreational Goods Rental), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 812199 (Other Personal Care Services), reflecting expertise in facility sustainment, equipment logistics, and quality-of-life services for deployed and training personnel. His technical domain spans infrastructure support, non-medical personal services, and specialized rental assets critical to maintaining self-sufficient garrison environments.
