Alecia West

Alecia West serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy component, supporting the mission to secure and sustain critical energy resources for global military operations. She manages complex acquisitions related to fuel logistics, natural gas infrastructure, and energy-related services, ensuring alignment with DoD readiness objectives. Her work involves the full lifecycle of contract execution—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—focusing on high-stakes, mission-critical energy supply chain requirements. She operates within the SPE605 contracting office, coordinating with operational units to align procurement strategy with tactical energy needs across all service branches. West maintains strategic relationships with primary contractors including Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, firms with established capabilities in international fuel logistics and energy distribution. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors possessing specialized expertise in petroleum handling, natural gas supply chain management, and energy infrastructure support. These relationships are characterized by sustained engagement, contract renewals, and a focus on reliability over transactional procurement, underscoring the operational urgency of DLA Energy’s mission. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy prioritizing scale, global reach, and technical capability over socioeconomic set-asides, consistent with the unique demands of sustaining energy operations in austere and expeditionary environments. West’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) and 513120 (Periodical Publishers), indicating a dual emphasis on upstream energy resource procurement and the dissemination of operational energy policy, compliance, and logistics documentation. She also engages with business associations (NAICS 813910) to facilitate industry coordination and standards alignment. Her expertise lies at the intersection of energy logistics, regulatory compliance, and global supply chain management within the defense sector.
