Alicia Filzen

Alicia Filzen serves as a QRP Manager, overseeing the procurement of recyclable material wholesale services within a federal acquisition environment. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while executing strategic sourcing initiatives that align with sustainability and supply chain efficiency goals. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of solicitations—from market research and requirement development to contract award and performance monitoring—primarily for bulk recyclable commodities such as paper, metals, and plastics. Filzen’s work directly supports environmental stewardship objectives by facilitating the responsible acquisition of materials critical to federal waste diversion and recycling programs. Her contractor relationships are centered on merchant wholesalers specializing in recyclable materials, with a preference for firms possessing robust logistics networks and certified environmental management systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with established wholesale distributors capable of meeting federal delivery, reporting, and quality assurance standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, transparency, and vendor reliability, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate operational scalability and regulatory compliance. Filzen’s contracting patterns reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 97.7% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Only 2.3% of awards are designated for 8(a) competed contracts, indicating a primary focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic preference programs. This pattern suggests she prioritizes cost-effectiveness and supply continuity over targeted small business set-asides, though she remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic requirements. Her procurement expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—reflecting deep specialization in the wholesale distribution of post-consumer and industrial recyclables. She manages acquisitions for bulk material procurement, including sorting, transportation, and documentation required for federal recycling compliance, demonstrating technical fluency in supply chain logistics for circular economy initiatives.
