Allison C. Lempka serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through efficient, transparent, and equitable procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and industrial goods and services, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and competitive contracting methods.

Lempka cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly small businesses, to foster innovation and market responsiveness. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering specialized equipment, wholesale distribution of medical and industrial supplies, and maintenance services for commercial machinery. She prioritizes open competition and transparent sourcing, encouraging vendor participation through clear solicitation language and fair evaluation criteria. A strong advocate for socioeconomic programs, Lempka demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business set-asides, with nearly half of her awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also actively supports Women-Owned Small Businesses, 8(a) firms, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a balanced approach to promoting equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Her set-aside preferences align with broader government goals to expand economic inclusion and strengthen the small business ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), where she acquires custom and commercial software solutions, followed by packaging machinery manufacturing (333993) and wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical and industrial supplies (424210). She also manages contracts for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning services (238220) and commercial equipment repair (811310), demonstrating technical fluency across both IT and physical infrastructure domains.
