Alessandra Gargiulo

Alessandra Gargiulo serves as a key procurement lead within the 0409 AQ HQ Contract office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex facility and infrastructure support acquisitions critical to U.S. Army garrison readiness across Europe and deployed environments. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized construction, maintenance of airfields and utilities, and servicing of mission-critical equipment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational sustainability standards. Her portfolio emphasizes technical infrastructure resilience, requiring precise alignment with military engineering and logistics requirements. Gargiulo maintains consistent working relationships with PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH Hausgeräte B.V., leveraging their capabilities in facility operations support and specialized industrial equipment supply. Her contracting approach favors established contractors with proven track records in austere environments, often engaging them for long-term, performance-based service agreements. These partnerships reflect a strategic preference for vendors with global logistics networks and technical expertise in military-grade infrastructure systems. Her procurement patterns show a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately one-third of awards designated for Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2 to support regional economic development near installations, while the majority remain open competition. This reflects a pragmatic emphasis on mission-critical delivery over rigid small business quotas, though she actively encourages participation from qualified small businesses when technical requirements permit. Gargiulo’s primary focus lies in NAICS 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products) and 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), indicating a strong technical emphasis on custom-engineered metal components and precision control systems used in utility, environmental, and security infrastructure. Her expertise spans the procurement of specialized HVAC controls, structural reinforcements, and automated monitoring systems essential to sustaining military installations under demanding operational conditions.
