Manley, Albert A.

Albert Manley serves as a key procurement professional within Headquarters Procurement Services at the Department of Energy, supporting the agency’s mission to advance energy security and operational efficiency through strategic acquisition of professional and technical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on expert consulting, digital infrastructure modernization, and institutional capacity building, with particular emphasis on training, data-driven systems, and mission-critical information services. His work ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and DOE’s strategic priorities in scientific innovation and energy resilience. Manley maintains established relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIPS LLC for technical solutions, SKADDEN, ARPS, SLATE, MEAGHER & FLOM LLP and HUNTON ANDREWS KURTH LLP for legal and compliance advisory services, LOGISTICS APPLICATIONS INC. for operational support, and BLUEPATH LABS LLC for advanced analytics and software development. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-sensitive services under tight regulatory frameworks, often through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements. His procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 94.4% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a focus on technical merit and vendor capability over socioeconomic preferences. Only 5.6% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a selective but intentional approach to small business participation when aligned with specialized technical requirements. Manley’s primary NAICS focus areas include 611430 for professional and management development training, 237110 for water and sewer infrastructure, and 236220 for commercial and institutional construction, demonstrating a blend of administrative, technical, and physical infrastructure procurement. He routinely acquires services related to workforce development, utility system upgrades, and facility modernization, requiring deep domain expertise in federal construction standards and institutional training methodologies.
