Ashley Train

Ashley Train serves in a secondary role within their agency, supporting the procurement mission through the administration of government contracts. The agency's procurement landscape shows a strong preference for full and open competitions, with the majority of awards designated as no set-aside. However, the office maintains a commitment to small business participation, utilizing partial small business set-asides and specific designations for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The agency's procurement activity is heavily concentrated within the food manufacturing sector. Technical expertise and acquisition focus are primarily centered on fruit and vegetable canning, frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing, as well as perishable prepared food manufacturing. Additional specialized procurement activity includes dried and dehydrated food manufacturing and the production of roasted nuts and peanut butter.
