Allison Myers

Allison Myers serves as a Contracting Officer with the Virginia Contracting Activity (HHM402), a key acquisition arm of the Defense Intelligence Agency under the Department of Defense. In this role, she leads the procurement of mission-critical technical services that directly support classified intelligence operations, including systems analysis, real-time data exploitation, and custom software development for intelligence platforms. Her portfolio centers on complex, high-acuity contracts requiring stringent security clearances and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations, ensuring timely delivery of advanced technical capabilities to sustain national intelligence priorities. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on services that enable cutting-edge intelligence processing and operational decision-making. Allison collaborates with a diverse pool of qualified contractors specializing in engineering, scientific research, and advanced technical services, primarily engaging firms with proven expertise in classified environments and defense-grade cybersecurity protocols. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently partners with vendors possessing DoD 8510 accreditation, ITAR/EAR compliance, and experience supporting intelligence community missions. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous source selection, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. Allison’s procurement strategy reflects a firm commitment to open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition without set-asides. She does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical capability, security readiness, and mission alignment as the primary selection criteria. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing advanced systems design, data analytics, physical science research, and custom software development tailored to intelligence mission needs. She routinely acquires services in areas such as signal processing, geospatial analysis, AI-driven exploitation tools, and secure infrastructure integration, demonstrating deep domain expertise in the technical underpinnings of modern intelligence operations.
