Allen Avery

Allen Avery serves as a Senior Procurement Specialist with a dedicated focus on infrastructure construction acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and advancing mission-critical public works projects. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—primarily overseeing complex construction projects related to power and communication line systems. His expertise ensures that acquisitions align with federal standards under the FAR, while promoting efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the delivery of essential utility infrastructure. Avery’s work directly supports national resilience and modernization efforts by securing reliable, high-performance energy and communications networks. Allen Avery’s contractor relationships are characterized by a consistent engagement with small business firms specializing in power and communication line construction. He collaborates closely with a network of qualified small business contractors capable of executing technically demanding fieldwork, including pole installation, underground conduit placement, and overhead line maintenance. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding among small business vendors, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance reliability, safety compliance, and adherence to industry best practices. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his pattern of engagement reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse, capable small business base within the construction sector. Avery demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing economic opportunity for small businesses, particularly those with specialized expertise in utility infrastructure. He consistently prioritizes contracting vehicles that enhance small business access, ensuring that firms without large-scale capacity can compete fairly and meaningfully. His socioeconomic contracting patterns are aligned with federal goals to broaden participation and strengthen the small business ecosystem within the construction industry. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 237130—Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction—where he procures services including transmission line installation, substation access road construction, fiber optic cable deployment, and associated civil works. Avery possesses deep domain knowledge of utility construction standards, right-of-way management, and safety protocols critical to this sector, making him a trusted expert in facilitating the delivery of resilient, next-generation energy and communications infrastructure.
