A. Grieger

A. Grieger serves as the Point of Contact for procurement activities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, representing the state’s flagship academic institution in its mission to sustain and modernize critical infrastructure supporting research, education, and administrative operations. In this role, Grieger manages the acquisition of professional employer services aligned with the university’s human capital and operational support needs, ensuring compliance with state and federal contracting regulations. Their responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for comprehensive workforce solutions, including payroll, benefits administration, risk management, and compliance services, all critical to maintaining a scalable and compliant employment ecosystem across a large, multi-campus academic environment. Grieger’s contractor relationships are primarily with Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) that provide integrated human resources outsourcing solutions. These partnerships typically involve established firms with proven capabilities in co-employment models, workers’ compensation management, and federal/state labor law adherence. While no specific contractor names are currently identifiable in the award history, the procurement pattern indicates a preference for vendors with robust compliance frameworks and scalable service delivery platforms capable of supporting UNC Chapel Hill’s complex workforce structure. Grieger’s contracting activity shows a 100% focus on non-set-aside procurements, indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified PEOs based on service quality, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance rather than socioeconomic criteria. The primary NAICS classification for Grieger’s portfolio is 561330—Professional Employer Organizations—reflecting a specialized focus on co-employment and outsourced HR services. This domain requires deep technical understanding of employment law, payroll systems, benefits administration, and risk mitigation frameworks, positioning Grieger as a subject matter expert in workforce management procurement within the higher education sector.
