Alicia A. Ramsdell

Alicia A. Ramsdell serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency-specific policies, supporting mission-critical procurement needs with precision and integrity. Her work centers on non-set-aside, full and open competitions, reflecting a focus on efficiency, transparency, and broad market access. Ramsdell routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions, including professional, technical, and administrative support services, often involving multi-year task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Her contractor relationships span a diverse range of vendors participating in open competitions, with no exclusive or dominant supplier relationships identified. She engages with both large prime contractors and small businesses on an equitable basis, fostering competitive environments that prioritize technical merit, past performance, and cost realism. Ramsdell’s approach emphasizes fair and open competition, ensuring all eligible offerors have an equal opportunity to compete without preferential treatment based on socioeconomic status. Consistent with her procurement patterns, Ramsdell exclusively utilizes non-set-aside contracting mechanisms, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and avoid socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB programs. Her approach aligns with agency priorities that prioritize competition over targeted contracting, while still maintaining rigorous evaluation standards for all bidders. While specific NAICS codes are not available, her acquisitions primarily involve professional services, including management consulting, logistics support, information technology services, and administrative operations. Her technical domain expertise lies in evaluating complex service requirements, ensuring deliverables meet operational needs through clear statement of work development and performance-based contracting methodologies.
