Allison Avalos

Allison Avalos serves as a key procurement lead within the Carrollton agency under the Texas Department of Transportation and public works framework, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to municipal resilience and public safety. Her role centers on managing the full lifecycle of contracts for civil construction, utility systems, and operational support services, ensuring alignment with state and federal compliance standards. She is responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding procurements that advance the agency’s mission of modernizing transportation networks, water and sewer infrastructure, and public facilities through technically sound and fiscally responsible contracting practices. Avalos engages with a broad spectrum of contractors, primarily general contractors specializing in civil works, utility installation firms, and temporary staffing providers supporting field operations. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with firms possessing proven experience in heavy highway construction, watermain installation, and transportation equipment supply. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated technical capability and regulatory compliance, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance reliability and safety record integrity. Avalos maintains a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical qualifications and capacity over socioeconomic targeting, ensuring that project outcomes are driven by operational readiness and engineering competency rather than certification status. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), supplemented by 423860 (Transportation Equipment Wholesalers) and 561320 (Temporary Help Services). She specializes in procuring engineered solutions for stormwater management, pavement rehabilitation, utility trenching, and labor-intensive maintenance support, demonstrating deep domain expertise in civil infrastructure lifecycle management and public works procurement compliance.
