A. Altherwi

A. Altherwi serves as a Government Official with a sled designation within the City of Manassas Park, overseeing procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize municipal infrastructure and ensure the reliable delivery of essential public services. In this role, Altherwi manages the acquisition of transportation equipment and supply chain support services critical to maintaining city operations, including fleet management, utility support systems, and infrastructure maintenance components. Their responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, and ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations, all while advancing the city’s strategic goals of operational efficiency and public safety. Altherwi maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of merchant wholesalers and specialized suppliers in the transportation equipment sector, focusing on vendors capable of delivering durable, compliant, and technologically current equipment. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in available records, their procurement pattern suggests consistent engagement with established wholesale distributors and manufacturers with proven track records in municipal-grade hardware and logistics support. Altherwi’s contracting approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical capability and value over socioeconomic classifications. This approach prioritizes performance, reliability, and lifecycle cost efficiency, aligning with the city’s operational needs rather than mandated socioeconomic preferences. The agency’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 423860—Transportation Equipment and Supplies (except Motor Vehicle) Merchant Wholesalers—reflecting deep specialization in procuring non-automotive transportation infrastructure components, such as signaling systems, traffic control devices, maintenance vehicles, and related equipment. Altherwi’s expertise lies in evaluating technical specifications, warranty terms, and compliance with DOT and FMCSA standards, ensuring all acquisitions meet the rigorous demands of municipal transportation and public works operations.
