Abby Shipp

Abby Shipp serves as a key procurement lead for the City of Peachtree Corners, overseeing acquisitions that support the municipality’s mission to modernize public infrastructure and enhance urban mobility. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts for capital improvement projects, including transportation, stormwater systems, and civic facility upgrades. Her procurement focus centers on engineering services, heavy equipment, and public works maintenance, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while aligning expenditures with the city’s strategic infrastructure goals. She interfaces with contractors, engineering firms, and municipal departments to align technical requirements with fiscal and operational priorities. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in the procurement record, Shipp’s acquisition patterns indicate consistent engagement with vendors specializing in highway and bridge construction, industrial equipment manufacturing, and general rental services for municipal operations. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established, technically capable suppliers capable of delivering durable, high-performance assets suited for public infrastructure demands. She maintains a vendor-neutral approach, prioritizing competitive bidding and performance-based outcomes over long-term sole-source arrangements. Shipp’s contracting activity shows a clear preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and delivery reliability over socioeconomic set-asides, though small businesses are not excluded—they compete on equal footing within a transparent, full-and-open procurement environment. Her primary NAICS focus includes Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310), General Rental Centers (532310), and Industrial Truck and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (333924), underscoring her specialization in heavy civil works, equipment leasing, and mobility infrastructure. She routinely procures construction services, heavy machinery, and transportation-related equipment, demonstrating deep expertise in public works procurement and asset lifecycle management for a technology-forward municipality.
