Alberta W. Jones

Alberta W. Jones serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions related to heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and industrial refrigeration systems. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including FAR Part 19, and oversees the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts to meet agency operational needs. Her work supports the procurement of mission-critical mechanical infrastructure, with a focus on technical specifications for commercial and industrial equipment. Jones handles both sealed bid and negotiated procurements, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to align contract requirements with operational objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers and wholesale distributors specializing in HVAC and refrigeration systems. She maintains relationships with vendors capable of delivering compliant, energy-efficient equipment and installation services, prioritizing vendors with demonstrated technical expertise and supply chain reliability. Her contracting approach emphasizes clear performance requirements, rigorous source selection criteria, and post-award contract administration to ensure delivery of high-quality, long-lasting systems. Jones demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 16.7% of her contract portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals, consistently leveraging small business capabilities without compromising technical or operational standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333415 (air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing) and 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), indicating deep expertise in mechanical systems procurement. She regularly acquires commercial and industrial-grade HVAC equipment, heating systems, and related components, demonstrating specialized knowledge in thermal control technologies, refrigerant compliance, and system integration standards. Her domain expertise ensures that acquisitions meet both performance benchmarks and energy efficiency requirements.
