Alicia Kooda serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in advancing her agency’s mission by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and promoting transparency, efficiency, and accountability in contracting processes. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on remediation services under NAICS 562910, encompassing environmental cleanup, hazardous waste management, and soil and groundwater remediation projects. She works closely with technical stakeholders to define performance-based requirements and ensures all procurements align with statutory and regulatory mandates. While specific contractor names are not available, Alicia maintains consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in environmental remediation, including small businesses, medium-sized firms, and firms with specialized technical certifications. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and post-award performance monitoring to ensure deliverables meet stringent environmental and safety standards. Alicia demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 79% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and over 21% competitively awarded to 8(a) participants. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses in the environmental services sector. Her contracting practices consistently prioritize 8(a) participation, aligning with federal goals to foster economic inclusion and capacity building among underserved entrepreneurs. Her technical domain expertise centers entirely on NAICS 562910—Remediation Services—where she specializes in procuring complex, high-risk environmental cleanup solutions. This includes site assessment, containment, treatment, and long-term monitoring services requiring specialized engineering, regulatory compliance, and hazardous materials handling capabilities. Alicia’s deep familiarity with environmental remediation standards and performance-based contracting ensures that acquisitions deliver technically sound, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible outcomes.
