Norma A. Alba

Norma A. Alba serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within her organization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning acquisitions with mission-critical objectives. She specializes in complex technical procurements involving radio and television broadcasting equipment, wireless communications systems, and related hardware manufacturing. Her role includes developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and administering awarded contracts to ensure performance standards are met. Alba plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by translating operational needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that deliver reliable communications infrastructure. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, Alba’s procurement activity is consistently directed toward vendors capable of manufacturing high-performance wireless communications equipment, including firms with expertise in RF components, transmission systems, and broadcast signal infrastructure. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for established manufacturers with proven technical capabilities and quality control systems, often engaging through sealed bidding or negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15. She maintains a results-driven approach to vendor selection, prioritizing technical merit, past performance, and compliance with federal standards. Alba’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This suggests her acquisitions are driven by stringent technical requirements that may limit the pool of qualified small businesses, or that the agency’s mission necessitates broad competition to ensure interoperability and scalability of communications systems. Her primary NAICS focus—334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing—reveals deep specialization in procuring hardware for public safety, defense, and broadcast communications networks. She routinely acquires transmitters, receivers, antennas, modulators, and integrated communication systems requiring compliance with FCC and DoD technical specifications, demonstrating expertise in electromagnetic compatibility, signal integrity, and secure transmission protocols.
