Alice Powell

Alice Powell serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Benning, a Department of the Army installation support organization responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and operational services. She manages a broad spectrum of acquisitions focused on professional, scientific, and technical services alongside specialized footwear manufacturing, ensuring that Army training and garrison operations maintain full operational readiness. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to uphold facility integrity, logistical resilience, and human capital development through compliant, efficient contracting practices aligned with federal acquisition regulations. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Powell consistently engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This underscores a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and build a resilient, mission-aligned supply base composed of small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. Powell’s procurement portfolio is dominated by two primary NAICS categories: 541990 for all other professional, scientific, and technical services, which includes facility maintenance, training support, and installation engineering; and 316210 for footwear manufacturing, reflecting the agency’s unique need for specialized military-grade footwear tailored to training environments. Her expertise lies in navigating the technical specifications and compliance requirements unique to both service-based and light manufacturing contracts, ensuring products and services meet rigorous Army standards for durability, safety, and performance. Her approach to contracting emphasizes equitable access, regulatory precision, and mission-driven outcomes, making her a pivotal figure in advancing small business inclusion while sustaining the operational readiness of one of the Army’s most vital training installations.
