Alishia Echols

Alishia Echols serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R11 Construction Services Division Center 4, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal construction-related acquisitions, from requirements development and solicitation to contract award and administration. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain mission-critical federal facilities, including courthouses, office buildings, and institutional infrastructure. Alishia specializes in remediation and environmental services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal environmental standards and sustainable building practices while delivering high-performance outcomes for federal stakeholders. Alishia collaborates with a diverse pool of qualified contractors specializing in environmental remediation, hazardous material abatement, and infrastructure rehabilitation services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in federal environmental compliance, including those certified under environmental management systems such as ISO 14001. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and vendor accountability to ensure long-term facility integrity and regulatory adherence. Alishia’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s need for specialized technical capabilities in environmental remediation, where the pool of qualified vendors is inherently limited by regulatory expertise and operational scale rather than socioeconomic status. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all socioeconomic contracting statutes and promotes fair competition among qualified firms. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), encompassing asbestos and lead-based paint abatement, soil and groundwater remediation, mold mitigation, and hazardous waste management. Alishia brings deep technical knowledge of federal environmental regulations, including CERCLA, RCRA, and OSHA standards, ensuring all contracts meet stringent safety, environmental, and performance benchmarks for federal facilities.
