Alexander Brown

Alexander Brown supports the Headquarters Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency in managing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with environmental protection and regulatory compliance. He oversees the acquisition of analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting services, and technical training programs essential for data-driven environmental monitoring and remediation efforts. His work ensures the agency’s scientific and operational capabilities remain robust, enabling timely regulatory decisions and ecological restoration initiatives. Brown typically handles complex, high-technical-demand contracts requiring stringent performance standards and compliance with federal environmental regulations. His primary contractor relationships include ABT GLOBAL LLC, GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., and LILIUM-SERES JV, firms known for expertise in environmental laboratory services, field-deployable monitoring systems, and environmental remediation design. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in environmental analytics and compliance support. Brown engages with these contractors through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract structures, emphasizing deliverables tied to environmental data quality and regulatory reporting standards. Set-aside preferences show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 94.7% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 5.3% are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and scale over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not a primary driver, it is systematically considered when vendor qualifications align with technical requirements. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting demand for precision environmental sensors and lab equipment, followed by NAICS 541611 for environmental management consulting and NAICS 611430 for professional training in regulatory compliance. These categories underscore a technical focus on laboratory-grade instrumentation, environmental data analysis, and workforce development in environmental science and regulatory frameworks.
