Alanna Young, Contracting Officer

Alanna Young serves as a Contracting Officer for Commander Navy Installations Command (N4571A), where she plays a pivotal role in securing the infrastructure necessary to sustain U.S. Navy shore installations. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of acquisitions for facility modernization, utility systems, and recreational infrastructure, ensuring that naval bases maintain operational readiness and support the quality of life for service members and their families. She routinely handles complex construction, renovation, and maintenance contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes aligned with DoD resilience and sustainability goals. Young’s procurement approach centers on direct award and competitive contracting with a broad range of qualified vendors, including general contractors, electrical specialists, and recreational facility operators. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she fosters consistent working relationships with firms possessing proven expertise in naval installation environments, emphasizing performance history, safety compliance, and technical capability over vendor size. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established partners with demonstrated experience in federal facility projects and a track record of on-time, compliant delivery. Young’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition to achieve the highest value and technical proficiency. This approach underscores her commitment to leveraging full market capability rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, high-quality execution across diverse installation needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 713940 (Fitness and Recreational Sports Centers), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 238210 (Electrical Contractors), indicating deep specialization in recreational facility upgrades, structural rehabilitation of military housing and administrative buildings, and electrical system modernization. She brings technical fluency in building codes, energy efficiency standards, and DoD facility requirements, ensuring all acquisitions meet stringent military installation benchmarks.
