Allyson E. Cooper

Allyson E. Cooper serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions critical to the sustainment and modernization of nuclear deterrence infrastructure. Her work focuses on securing mission-critical services and construction for remote missile fields, launch facilities, and associated utility systems, ensuring operational resilience and compliance with national defense standards. She oversees a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and technical support contracts, often requiring specialized expertise in remote site operations and high-security environments. Cooper maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc., each recognized for their proficiency in defense infrastructure support. These partnerships are built on proven track records in executing complex, geographically dispersed projects under stringent security protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet the unique demands of Air Force nuclear infrastructure. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 63% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 18.2% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity while leveraging the agility and niche capabilities of small firms in delivering mission-critical services. Cooper’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), 237310 (highway and bridge construction), and 238210 (electrical installation), reflecting her emphasis on physical infrastructure resilience. She also routinely procures maintenance services under 811310 and specialized materials under 314110, demonstrating expertise in integrated facility sustainment for remote, high-security defense sites.
