Alicia D. Vogel

Alicia D. Vogel serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting mission-critical acquisitions across advanced manufacturing and technical systems. Her portfolio primarily encompasses industrial equipment, aerospace components, and precision instrumentation, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, performance-based contracting, and source selection methodologies under FAR Part 15. Vogel collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including prime manufacturers and specialized subcontractors in the aerospace, industrial machinery, and instrumentation sectors. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance, with an emphasis on fostering competitive bidding environments. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing specialized engineering expertise and certified manufacturing capabilities to meet stringent government requirements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Vogel prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over one-third of her acquisitions reserved exclusively for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, consistently leveraging set-aside authorities to expand market access for small manufacturers without relying on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs. This approach ensures broad competition while maintaining alignment with federal small business utilization targets. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with significant activity in industrial truck and engine equipment manufacturing (333924 and 333618), as well as precision measuring and controlling devices (334515 and 334519). This technical specialization demonstrates deep expertise in procuring high-reliability components for defense, transportation, and industrial automation systems, requiring nuanced understanding of engineering standards, quality assurance protocols, and supply chain resilience.
