Allison Stridh

Allison Stridh serves as a key procurement professional within the Program Executive Office for Special Operations Forces Support and Acquisition (PEO-SOFSA), under the U.S. Special Operations Command. In this role, she is responsible for managing complex acquisitions that enable mission-critical logistics, technical infrastructure, and force protection capabilities for Special Operations Forces. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure rapid global force projection by securing advanced systems including secure communications, sensor platforms, and personnel protective equipment. Stridh handles full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—primarily focused on high-acuity, time-sensitive requirements that demand technical precision and operational compatibility. Stridh maintains a broad network of defense and aerospace contractors capable of delivering specialized, classified, and expeditionary support systems. While specific vendor names are not disclosed in available records, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with Tier 1 defense integrators and niche technical providers experienced in classified environments. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous compliance with SOF-specific security protocols and a preference for vendors with proven track records in rapid deployment, modular system integration, and sustainment of mission-critical assets under austere conditions. Stridh’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgent and specialized nature of SOF requirements. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her process remains transparent and competitive, ensuring the best-fit solutions are selected based on performance, security compliance, and mission alignment. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 481211—Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation—reflecting her critical role in securing air mobility assets for SOF insertion, extraction, and resupply. This specialization underscores deep expertise in tactical airlift, rotary-wing support, and expeditionary air logistics, including aircraft modification, maintenance support, and crew services tailored to clandestine and high-threat environments.
