Allison M. Dotson

Allison M. Dotson serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for information technology and electronics-related services and products. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting mission-critical technology modernization efforts. Her portfolio primarily encompasses IT services, custom software development, and electronic manufacturing procurement, with a focus on delivering scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions aligned with agency objectives. Dotson exercises full authority over solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the acquisition process. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable, Dotson routinely engages with a diverse range of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses specializing in IT services and electronics manufacturing. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, fostering competitive bidding while prioritizing performance, innovation, and contractual compliance. She maintains collaborative working relationships with industry partners to ensure technical requirements are clearly defined and deliverables are aligned with operational needs. Dotson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement strategy consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, though she does not currently focus on specialized socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted socioeconomic set-asides. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Other Computer Related Services (541519), Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), and Computer Software Publishing (511210), indicating deep expertise in IT services and software development. She also regularly procures electronic computer manufacturing (334111) and wireless communications equipment (334220), demonstrating technical proficiency in both service-based and hardware-oriented technology acquisitions. Dotson’s work supports the modernization of digital infrastructure and the integration of emerging technologies across federal operations.
