Alfreda A. Reid

Alfreda A. Reid serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions within a technical acquisition environment, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and promoting efficient resource allocation. Her work centers on the acquisition of specialized mechanical and aerospace components, supporting critical infrastructure and defense-related missions. She handles competitive sealed bidding, negotiated procurements, and contract modifications under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on technical evaluation, source selection, and post-award contract administration. Her role is pivotal in translating operational requirements into enforceable contractual obligations that meet mission-critical performance standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Reid’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers of precision mechanical systems, particularly those capable of producing high-tolerance bearings, power transmission components, and auxiliary aircraft parts. She cultivates relationships with both large-tier industrial suppliers and small business manufacturers possessing specialized engineering capabilities, fostering a competitive marketplace grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. Reid demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 79.4% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating nearly 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with a minor but intentional focus on HUBZone firms. Her socioeconomic contracting approach balances broad market access with targeted opportunities for qualified small businesses, aligning with federal goals while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing) and 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical systems for industrial and aerospace applications. She also procures specialized components under NAICS 336412 and 336413, indicating familiarity with aircraft engine subsystems and auxiliary equipment. Her technical domain spans precision manufacturing, materials science, and mechanical reliability, making her a key liaison between engineering requirements and industrial supply chain execution.
