Alicia A. Ramsdell

Alicia A. Ramsdell serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical acquisitions for technical and electrical systems. She specializes in complex procurements involving specialized electrical components, communications equipment, and industrial control systems, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance-based requirements and evaluate technical proposals under FAR Part 15 procedures. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to data limitations, Ramsdell routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large manufacturers and small businesses, primarily in the electrical and electronic equipment sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations that prioritize technical merit and regulatory compliance over sole-source or non-competitive awards, fostering a transparent and accountable acquisition environment. Ramsdell’s set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 97.9% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 2.1% reflect targeted efforts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), indicating a measured but consistent commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach emphasizes broad market access while maintaining compliance with statutory small business goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing), which accounts for over 70% of her activity, followed by specialized acquisitions in current-carrying wiring devices, radio and telecommunications equipment, motors and generators, and navigation systems. This technical specialization demonstrates deep domain expertise in industrial electrical systems and mission-critical electronic components, positioning her as a key steward of procurement for defense-adjacent and infrastructure-supporting technologies.
