Alice A Allen

Alice A. Allen serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for federal construction and architectural services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical infrastructure and design solutions. Her portfolio centers on complex, multi-phase projects requiring coordination between design professionals, general contractors, and specialty subcontractors. She exercises full contracting authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, from solicitation development to contract award and administration, ensuring transparency, competition, and value for taxpayer investments. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in available data, Ms. Allen routinely engages with qualified firms capable of delivering commercial and institutional construction services, including general contractors, construction managers, and architectural firms. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, pre-qualification of vendors, and performance-based contract structures to ensure quality, schedule adherence, and risk mitigation. She maintains a results-driven working relationship with industry partners, prioritizing accountability and technical competency over volume-based vendor relationships. Ms. Allen’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition among all eligible firms rather than reserving opportunities for socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not formally targeted in her current portfolio, she remains compliant with all statutory requirements and may consider small business subcontracting plans as part of larger contract evaluations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which constitutes 75% of her activity, encompassing new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades for government-owned buildings. The remaining 25% centers on NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), where she procures design, planning, and engineering support for infrastructure projects. Her expertise includes managing design-build and construction management-at-risk delivery methods, demonstrating deep familiarity with building codes, project delivery systems, and performance specifications in the built environment.
