Madeline M. Allison

Madeline M. Allison serves as a Contracting Specialist within the W6QM MICC-FDO at Fort Sam Houston, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain installation readiness through mission-critical procurement. She manages a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions, primarily focused on facilities support, dining services, and infrastructure sustainment contracts that ensure operational continuity across Army garrisons. Her work directly enables force readiness by securing essential services that maintain daily base operations, including food service, administrative support, and health-related care solutions. Allison employs full and open competition alongside targeted set-asides to meet statutory requirements and mission needs while ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. She maintains a strong working relationship with VETPRIDE SERVICES, INC., a recurring contractor across multiple award vehicles, reflecting a consistent partnership built on performance reliability and alignment with installation service requirements. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established small business vendors with proven track records in garrison support, fostering long-term vendor engagement while maintaining competitive integrity. She collaborates closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align contract scope with operational priorities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-enabling services. Allison demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly two-thirds of her awards structured as small business set-asides—equally divided between Total Small Business and 8(a) competed programs. She also regularly utilizes HUBZone and EDWOSB set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden participation among underserved and disadvantaged small businesses. Her contracting approach aligns with DoD’s small business goals, emphasizing equitable access and vendor development within the military installation support ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), followed by 561110 (Office Administrative Services), 621610 (Home Health Care Services), and 624120 (Services for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities). This specialization underscores her expertise in managing complex, service-intensive contracts that require high standards of compliance, quality assurance, and workforce management within sensitive military environments.
