MK1 ALEXANDREA S. BURNS

Mk1 Alexandrea S. Burns serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard Base Portsmouth (70Z027), responsible for managing facility sustainment and operational support contracts critical to mission readiness. She oversees the acquisition of industrial laundering and facility services that ensure compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards across Coast Guard barracks, stations, and logistics facilities. Her role is central to maintaining infrastructure resilience through timely, compliant contracting that aligns with the agency’s strategic priorities in modernization and hazardous material mitigation. Burns specializes in service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on long-term, performance-driven contracts that support continuous operational functionality. Burns maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including A TO B CREATIONS INC, PARLIAMENT LLC, DOORS ON DEMAND, LLC, SANDOW CONSTRUCTION INC, and VISION CONTRACTING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in facility maintenance, industrial laundry operations, and infrastructure support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor engagement over transactional procurement. These contractors are frequently re-engaged for repeat task orders and follow-on work, indicating a trust-based, performance-oriented contracting culture. Burns demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses while ensuring high-quality, responsive service delivery. Her portfolio excludes large business participation, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities and strengthen the small business industrial base supporting Coast Guard operations. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 812332 (Industrial Launderers), indicating deep specialization in commercial laundry services for military and institutional use. She procures high-volume, regulated laundering of uniforms, linens, and facility textiles, requiring strict adherence to military hygiene standards, hazardous waste handling protocols, and water conservation practices. This technical domain expertise ensures mission-critical cleanliness and operational continuity across Coast Guard installations.
