Adam PIETROCARLO

Adam Pietrocarlo serves as a procurement specialist within the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize correctional infrastructure and enhance operational efficiency. In his role, he manages the acquisition of facility maintenance, construction, and janitorial services critical to sustaining secure and functional correctional environments. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under federal and state procurement guidelines, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and lifecycle cost considerations. He routinely handles solicitations for building systems upgrades, capital improvements, and facility services that align with the department’s strategic priorities in safety, sustainability, and institutional modernization. Pietrocarlo collaborates with a diverse pool of trade contractors specializing in institutional construction and maintenance, including plumbing, HVAC, masonry, and finish carpentry firms. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced, licensed trades with proven track records in public sector facilities. He engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing performance-based outcomes, quality assurance protocols, and adherence to state building codes. His contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under general competition. This reflects a procurement strategy focused on technical capability and cost-effectiveness rather than socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal and state small business reporting requirements. Pietrocarlo’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories 561720 (janitorial services), 238220 (HVAC and plumbing contractors), 238350 (finish carpentry), and 236220 (commercial/institutional construction). He routinely procures services related to facility maintenance, utility system upgrades, structural repairs, and interior finishes for correctional institutions. His technical expertise centers on lifecycle management of aging infrastructure, with deep familiarity in building systems integration, code-compliant retrofits, and preventive maintenance contracting strategies.
