Alicia C. Braun

Alicia Braun serves as a key procurement professional within the W7M6 Uspfo Activity Ilang 183, a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining military garrison readiness through infrastructure development and facility services. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and support service acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives in barracks modernization, utilities systems, and essential base operations. Her work directly enables habitable, safe, and functional environments for service members by overseeing the full lifecycle of contract execution—from solicitation through performance evaluation. Braun maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility construction and support services, including Charpie Construction Co., Inc., Citadel Construction Group LLC, and Dynamic Enterprises LLC for building and renovation projects, alongside Reagent World, Inc. and Bloom Hospitality and Catering Services, LLC for specialized operational services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance accountability, and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate proven capacity in military installation environments and adherence to stringent DoD standards. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Braun consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside procurements under FAR 19.5, with approximately 88% of her awards directed to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic opportunities while ensuring competitive, capable vendor participation across all phases of acquisition. Her contracting patterns show minimal use of no-set-aside awards, underscoring a institutionalized commitment to fostering small business growth within the defense infrastructure sector. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with additional emphasis on specialty trade contracting (238990) and landscaping services (561730). She routinely manages acquisitions for facility upgrades, mechanical systems installation, and site maintenance, demonstrating deep expertise in military construction standards and integrated facility sustainment operations.
