The primary contact at DAS Procurement for the State of Connecticut serves as a central procurement lead responsible for managing the acquisition of critical support services aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain public infrastructure and community-based services. This role oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from needs assessment and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with state procurement regulations and federal guidelines. The contact specializes in procuring non-clinical, community-oriented services that enhance the operational capacity of state-funded programs, particularly those serving vulnerable populations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement records, the contact engages with a broad spectrum of service providers, including nonprofit organizations, social service agencies, and professional service firms capable of delivering individual and family support programs. Vendor partnerships are typically established through competitive sealed bidding and request for proposal processes, with an emphasis on capacity-building and service quality over cost alone. The contact’s procurement activity is exclusively classified under “No Set-Aside,” indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing vendor participation through broad, unrestricted solicitations rather than targeted socioeconomic initiatives. The primary NAICS classification is 624190—Other Individual and Family Services—indicating a specialization in procuring non-medical social support services, including case management, counseling, crisis intervention, and family assistance programs. The contact’s expertise lies in evaluating service delivery models, workforce qualifications, and outcome-based performance metrics to ensure taxpayer-funded services meet state standards for accessibility, equity, and effectiveness.
