Allison E. Alexander

Allison Alexander serves as a Contract Specialist at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), a key facility within the Department of the Navy responsible for sustaining naval vessel readiness through industrial support and shipyard modernization. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical maintenance, repair, and industrial infrastructure contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Navy-specific requirements. Her acquisitions primarily support shipbuilding and repair operations, including specialized equipment, industrial fabrication, and facility upgrades essential to fleet operational availability. Allison maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industrial contractors, including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on skilled trades and mission-critical services such as structural scaffolding, marine coating systems, propulsion system maintenance, and heavy industrial construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and technical proficiency, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet the demanding standards of naval maintenance environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Allison consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over two-thirds of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the defense industrial base while ensuring competitive, responsive sourcing for specialized shipyard services. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals, with minimal use of open competitions and a clear preference for small business vendors capable of delivering niche industrial capabilities. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for the vast majority of her portfolio, supplemented by related categories in fabricated metal products and industrial coating systems. She procures complex, engineered solutions for hull integrity, propulsion support, and shipyard infrastructure, requiring deep understanding of naval engineering standards and industrial safety protocols.
