Alicia Jones

Alicia S. Jones serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex procurements across advanced manufacturing and industrial systems. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, conducting market research, and developing solicitation documents that align with technical and operational requirements. Her work centers on full lifecycle contract management—from requirements definition and source selection to award administration and performance oversight—supporting mission-critical capabilities in aerospace, energy, and industrial equipment sectors. Jones maintains a broad and diverse contractor base, engaging with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses across the manufacturing supply chain. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms capable of delivering precision-engineered components, specialized machinery, and industrial process systems. She fosters transparent, competitive bidding environments and prioritizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability, and regulatory compliance over sole-source arrangements. Her contracting approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards designated as “No Set-Aside.” This underscores a focus on technical merit and market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains fully compliant with all small business outreach and reporting requirements. Her strategy emphasizes efficiency, fairness, and broad market access, ensuring the best value through robust competition. Jones specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 336413 and 336412, focusing on aircraft parts, propulsion systems, and auxiliary equipment, alongside 325120 for industrial gas systems and 333132 for oil and gas field machinery. Her domain expertise includes high-integrity components, pressure-rated systems, and electro-mechanical assemblies used in defense, energy, and aerospace applications. She brings deep familiarity with technical specifications, military standards, and supply chain resilience requirements within these industrial niches.
