Allison Kurwitz

Allison Kurwitz serves as a key procurement professional within the Texas Department of Transportation, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain and modernize the state’s transportation infrastructure. In her role, she manages the acquisition of critical services essential to highway, bridge, and public works operations, with a focus on temporary staffing solutions and construction-related engineering support. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts that align with state and federal procurement regulations, ensuring timely delivery of workforce and construction services to sustain the integrity of Texas’s transportation networks. Kurwitz collaborates with a broad range of vendors specializing in temporary labor services and civil construction firms, fostering partnerships that deliver skilled personnel and on-site execution capabilities. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of mobilizing rapidly to support maintenance cycles, emergency repairs, and infrastructure upgrades. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, compliance with DOT safety standards, and adherence to project timelines critical to public mobility. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, including no use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for scalable, high-volume service delivery in time-sensitive environments. Kurwitz’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her activity, supporting staffing needs for field operations, inspection teams, and administrative support. The remaining third centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting her expertise in managing complex civil works contracts requiring specialized engineering oversight and construction management expertise. Her domain knowledge spans workforce logistics, infrastructure lifecycle support, and compliance with TxDOT’s technical specifications for public works execution.
