Alicia K. Taylor

Alicia K. Taylor serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts, with a strong emphasis on information technology and hospitality-related services. Taylor routinely handles complex procurements requiring detailed statement of work development, source selection under FAR Part 15, and post-award contract management to ensure performance and compliance. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate a balanced approach to vendor engagement, working with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors across multiple sectors. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical capability, past performance, and adherence to socioeconomic requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competition, and risk mitigation, with a focus on achieving value through structured evaluation criteria and clear performance metrics. Taylor exhibits a clear preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, accounting for 75% of her awards, while maintaining a consistent 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic balance between broad competition and deliberate support for small business participation, without a pronounced focus on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach prioritizes capability and market readiness over narrow set-aside targeting. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) and Hotels and Motels (721110), each representing 40% of her portfolio, with additional activity in Other Information Services (519190). This dual specialization underscores her expertise in procuring both mission-critical software development services and operational support for hospitality infrastructure, indicating a unique blend of technical and facility-based acquisition experience.
