Allison M Stang

Allison M. Stang serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions within the federal procurement system, with a dedicated focus on research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating timely and effective contract awards that support scientific innovation and technical advancement. Her acquisitions typically involve service-based contracts for laboratory research, analytical testing, engineering design, and technical consulting services, often requiring specialized subject matter expertise and rigorous performance metrics. Stang collaborates with a diverse array of vendors, including academic research institutions, independent scientific consultants, and mid-to-large-sized engineering firms with proven capabilities in R&D. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing high technical proficiency in experimental design, data analysis, and regulatory-compliant scientific protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection under FAR Part 15 procedures. Her procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, though she remains compliant with all small business programs and may consider them when they offer superior technical solutions. Her approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes over socioeconomic targets, aligning with agency needs for high-caliber scientific expertise. Stang’s primary NAICS focus is 541712, encompassing research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. She routinely procures services related to applied scientific research, prototype development, environmental modeling, and advanced laboratory analysis. Her domain expertise lies in technical areas requiring deep scientific knowledge, including chemistry, materials science, and biomedical engineering, ensuring that contract requirements are both technically sound and operationally feasible.
