Alyson Keaton

Alyson Keaton serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within the federal acquisition framework. She specializes in the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for heavy and civil engineering construction projects, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission objectives. Her work directly supports infrastructure development initiatives requiring technical precision, rigorous cost analysis, and adherence to federal construction standards. Keaton routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for large-scale public works, including transportation, water resource, and environmental infrastructure projects. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Keaton engages with a broad spectrum of qualified contractors capable of executing heavy civil engineering tasks, including general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and engineering firms with proven experience in earthwork, structural foundations, and large-scale site development. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical merit evaluation, and performance-based contract management to ensure quality outcomes and accountability. Keaton’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, her processes remain fully compliant with all applicable small business outreach and reporting requirements under the Small Business Act. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 237990 — Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction — encompassing non-residential infrastructure projects such as dams, bridges, tunnels, and utility systems. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating technical proposals, construction methodologies, and contractor qualifications specific to civil engineering disciplines, ensuring that awarded contracts are awarded to firms with demonstrated capability in complex, high-risk construction environments.
