Alonzo Burris II

Alonzo W. Burris serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within a defense and industrial support environment. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing competitive and non-competitive acquisitions for specialized manufacturing and defense-related equipment. His work directly supports mission-critical capabilities by securing high-integrity fabricated metal components, motor vehicle systems, and armored vehicle parts. Burris plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into legally sound, efficiently awarded contracts that align with national security and industrial base priorities. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, Burris consistently engages with a broad base of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in metal fabrication and automotive subsystems. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industrial contractors with demonstrated capacity in precision manufacturing, assembly, and compliance with military specifications. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent quality assurance standards, including those required for defense supply chain integrity. Burris exhibits a strong orientation toward open competition, with 98.1% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Only 1.9% are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit and production capacity over socioeconomic categorization, while still maintaining compliance with small business participation goals when appropriate. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS sectors centered on fabricated metal products, motor vehicle body manufacturing, and specialized automotive components, including steering and suspension systems. He frequently manages contracts for military armored vehicle parts and related subsystems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense industrial base requirements. Burris’s expertise spans the design-to-production continuum, ensuring acquisitions meet performance, durability, and interoperability standards critical to national defense platforms.
