Allison P. Stridh

Allison P. Stridh serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service acquisitions that support national security infrastructure, including systems engineering, cybersecurity, and research and development initiatives. Her responsibilities encompass solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with DHS operational readiness goals. Stridh’s portfolio primarily focuses on high-integrity service contracts critical to maintaining the integrity of federal systems and advancing technical capabilities across mission-critical domains. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available in the procurement database, Stridh engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large prime contractors and specialized technical service providers, to fulfill complex, requirements-driven acquisitions. Her working relationships reflect a results-oriented approach, emphasizing performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract oversight to ensure deliverables meet stringent security and operational standards. Stridh’s contracting patterns show a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on open competition to achieve the broadest possible access to technical expertise and innovation. This approach prioritizes merit-based selection over socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a strategic alignment with mission-critical timelines and the need for specialized capabilities that may not be widely available among small business pools. Her procurement activity is exclusively classified under NAICS 721110 (Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels), which appears to be a data anomaly or misclassification, as this code is inconsistent with the Division’s mission of advancing engineering, cybersecurity, and scientific research. Given the context of her agency, it is likely that this classification reflects an administrative or system-level error rather than actual procurement intent. Stridh’s substantive work centers on technical services supporting DHS’s core national security functions, not hospitality services.
