Alicia Allen

Alicia Allen serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a focus on consulting, technical support, and event management services. Alicia works closely with program stakeholders to define scope, evaluate proposals, and negotiate terms that align with agency objectives while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory integrity. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in current data, Alicia routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and general service providers offering administrative, scientific, and technical expertise. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with a balanced emphasis on fostering vendor participation through fair and equitable evaluation processes. She maintains a collaborative working relationship with industry partners, emphasizing clear communication, timely responsiveness, and adherence to procurement best practices. Alicia demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted under open, non-set-aside authorities and 12.5% awarded as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a strategic approach that prioritizes broad competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses. She does not currently utilize specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but consistently adheres to small business goals through targeted total small business set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting expertise in operational efficiency, policy advisory, and technical support.
