Alison G. Lauer

Alison G. Lauer serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements in telecommunications equipment, educational support services, and specialized technical maintenance, requiring a deep understanding of technical specifications, source selection criteria, and performance-based contracting methods. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Lauer engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including prime contractors and subcontractors across commercial and government-focused markets. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a structured evaluation framework that prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and cost realism. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with industry partners, ensuring integrity and adherence to ethical contracting standards. Lauer’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 90% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 10% of her awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals, balancing broad market access with targeted opportunities for small businesses without relying on specialized programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334220 for radio and television broadcasting equipment, 611710 for educational support services, and 811219 for other miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. This triad reflects expertise in procuring both high-tech communication infrastructure and mission-critical support functions, positioning her as a specialist in bridging technical procurement with service-based operational needs.
