Alycia Stevenson

Alycia Stevenson serves as the primary procurement lead for the Drug Enforcement Administration Headquarters, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical technologies that support federal drug enforcement operations. Her role centers on securing advanced surveillance, secure communications, and forensic detection systems essential for lawful intercepts and intelligence-driven investigations. She manages a portfolio of complex acquisitions aligned with DEA’s strategic modernization goals, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while prioritizing operational readiness and cybersecurity resilience. Her contracting activities directly enable field agents and analytical units with cutting-edge tools to disrupt illicit drug networks. Stevenson maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors including OCTASIC US INC., OBSIDIAN INTEGRATION, LLC, and SECURITY PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL, LLC, all of which provide tailored electronic surveillance, secure data transmission, and intelligence-gathering hardware. She also engages CAYMAN CHEMICAL CO INC. and FOCUS CAMERA LLC for forensic reagents and high-resolution imaging equipment critical to laboratory and field operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with deep technical expertise in law enforcement-grade systems, often requiring custom integration, certification, and rapid deployment capabilities. These partnerships are built on proven performance, technical reliability, and adherence to federal security standards. Stevenson’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic categorizations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her selections are driven by the specialized nature of required equipment and the limited pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting DEA’s stringent operational and security requirements. Her primary NAICS classification is 333415, reflecting a focus on commercial and industrial refrigeration and environmental control equipment—indicative of specialized infrastructure for forensic laboratories, evidence storage, and secure facility climate management. This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring mission-enabling physical infrastructure that supports the integrity of evidence and operational environments, rather than traditional surveillance or communications hardware.
