Alesia L Hayes

Alesia L. Hayes serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports mission-critical procurement needs within her organization, focusing primarily on defense and aerospace-related hardware. Her acquisitions typically involve complex technical systems, including aircraft components, precision fasteners, and specialized manufacturing equipment, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications and supply chain dynamics. While specific contractor names are not available, Hayes maintains a procurement environment that emphasizes competitive, open market opportunities, with a notable preference for non-set-aside contracts. Her working relationships with vendors are characterized by rigorous evaluation of technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance, fostering transparent and accountable contracting practices across a diverse supplier base. Hayes demonstrates a measured commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 14% of her acquisitions structured as small business set-asides, including Total Small Business, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing broad competition while actively supporting eligible small businesses under FAR Part 19, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), where she routinely sources mission-critical aerospace components. She also frequently acquires fasteners and hardware under NAICS 332722, alongside fabricated wire products, cutting tool accessories, and welding equipment. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in industrial manufacturing domains, particularly those supporting defense, aviation, and precision engineering applications.
