Alea Cox

Alea Cox serves as a Contract Specialist within the W071 Endist Seattle office under the Department of the Army, where she manages the full lifecycle of civil infrastructure and installation support acquisitions. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize military installations across the Pacific Northwest through heavy civil engineering, facility construction, and environmental remediation projects. She specializes in soliciting, negotiating, and administering complex contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on construction, facility maintenance, and environmental services. Cox ensures compliance with statutory requirements while aligning procurements with strategic readiness goals. Cox maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCANTIERI Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering large-scale civil works, marine repair, and federal construction services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and collaborative vendor engagement to ensure mission-critical infrastructure projects meet stringent military standards. Cox demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 83.3% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business participation, regularly awarding contracts to firms certified as small, veteran-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned, in alignment with Department of the Army goals to expand small business access to federal infrastructure opportunities. Her patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster local economic resilience while ensuring contractor capacity to meet complex federal requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds), which constitutes two-thirds of her portfolio, reflecting the agency’s investment in quality-of-life infrastructure for service members and families. She also routinely procures janitorial and landscaping services under NAICS 561720 and 561730, demonstrating expertise in facility sustainment and installation resilience. Cox’s technical domain centers on military installation support, with deep familiarity in environmental compliance, construction oversight, and service-based contract management.
