Alina Livengood

Alina Livengood serves as a Procurement Analyst within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to national security missions. Her responsibilities include supporting the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to award documentation and post-award administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific policies. She specializes in procuring high-complexity consulting services that enhance systems engineering, cybersecurity resilience, and physical science research capabilities, directly enabling operational readiness across DHS components. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable due to data limitations, Livengood consistently engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors offering specialized technical expertise in applied research and advisory services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations that prioritize technical merit, past performance, and regulatory compliance over socioeconomic preferences, fostering a transparent and performance-driven vendor environment. Livengood’s contracting activity is exclusively classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a strategic focus on merit-based competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach underscores her alignment with mission-critical procurement objectives that prioritize technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic targeting. Her procurement portfolio is entirely concentrated under NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—reflecting deep specialization in securing expert advisory services for engineering analysis, cybersecurity architecture, systems integration, and applied research. She routinely procures high-skill services from firms capable of delivering advanced technical solutions in physical sciences, defense systems, and critical infrastructure protection, demonstrating a clear focus on mission-enabling technical consulting rather than commodity or administrative support.
