Allie Hernandez

Allie Hernandez serves as the primary point of contact for procurement activities at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, playing a critical role in advancing the agency’s digital transformation initiatives. She facilitates the acquisition of technical services that support modernization of immigration case processing systems, identity verification platforms, and public-facing digital services. Her work directly enables USCIS to enhance operational efficiency, improve applicant experience, and strengthen cybersecurity posture through strategic contracting. Hernandez typically manages solicitations under performance-based contract vehicles, coordinating with technical teams and acquisition specialists to ensure requirements align with mission-critical objectives in IT modernization and systems integration. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading federal IT contractors including SCIOLEX CORPORATION, CSRA LLC, SEVATEC LLC, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, and ALETHIX, LLC.
