Allison Ianniello

Allison P. Ianniello serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for complex technical and professional services contracts. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while negotiating terms that balance mission needs, risk mitigation, and fiscal responsibility. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, custom software development, and specialized manufacturing support, often involving high-technical-risk procurements requiring detailed performance specifications and rigorous evaluation criteria. Ianniello works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to define requirements, structure solicitation packages, and facilitate fair and open competition under FAR Part 15 procedures. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including large prime contractors with deep technical capabilities and small businesses capable of delivering niche engineering and IT solutions. She fosters collaborative relationships grounded in transparency and performance accountability, often leveraging source selection teams to ensure competitive outcomes and contractor compliance with contractual obligations. Ianniello demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 77.8% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 22.2% of her awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small firms without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she secures technical expertise for infrastructure, systems integration, and technical advisory services. She also regularly procures custom computer programming services (541511), guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (336414), and nonresidential building leasing (531120), indicating broad technical domain expertise across defense, aerospace, and mission-support infrastructure sectors.
