Alicia Prince

Alicia Prince serves as a Contract Specialist at the Department of Defense Education Activity’s Americas Regional Office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support the educational and operational needs of military-connected students. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for essential services such as student transportation, facility maintenance, and environmental remediation, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. She works closely with program managers and stakeholders to translate operational requirements into solicitation documents, evaluate proposals, and administer contracts that uphold the agency’s commitment to equitable, high-quality services across domestic and overseas installations. While specific contractor names are not publicly identified, Prince maintains consistent partnerships with vendors specializing in school transportation, janitorial services, and landscaping, often engaging both large-capacity providers and small business concerns. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on performance accountability and transparent communication. She frequently collaborates with contractors who demonstrate proven capacity in serving DoD installation environments with stringent operational standards. Prince demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on socioeconomic programs, consistently prioritizing small businesses over non-set-aside awards, and aligning with DoD’s broader goals to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 485410 (school and employee bus transportation), followed by landscaping (561730) and janitorial services (561720), with additional activity in remediation (562910) and specialized manufacturing (339930). This reflects deep expertise in supporting student mobility, campus operations, and infrastructure integrity—core functions underpinning the educational mission of DoDEA’s Americas Regional Office.
