Linda J Allensworth

Linda J. Allensworth serves as a Supervisory Contracting Officer responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. In her leadership role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and promotes efficient, transparent contracting practices that align with agency mission objectives. She typically manages high-value, technical acquisitions involving specialized manufacturing and engineered systems, often requiring coordination with engineering, logistics, and program management stakeholders to ensure deliverables meet operational standards. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse base of industrial suppliers, particularly those capable of delivering precision-engineered components and heavy-gauge metal fabrication. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, competitive bidding, and vendor accountability, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical capability, quality control, and delivery reliability across defense and industrial sectors. Allensworth demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 26% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though no other socioeconomic set-asides (such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB) are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to expand market access for qualified small manufacturers and promote economic resilience within the industrial supply base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to mechanical power transmission, engine equipment, and motor vehicle steering and suspension components, reflecting deep expertise in mechanical systems manufacturing. She also regularly procures fabricated metal tanks and coated textile products, indicating a technical understanding of materials science and industrial production processes. Her domain knowledge spans precision engineering, durability testing, and supply chain logistics for mission-critical mechanical systems.
