Adrienne Bergey

Adrienne Bergey serves as a key procurement lead for the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility construction services essential to the jail’s operational integrity. In her role, she manages the full lifecycle of capital improvement contracts, ensuring compliance with state and federal building codes, safety standards, and correctional facility regulations. Her procurement focus centers on commercial and institutional building construction, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities to modernize aging infrastructure, expand inmate housing capacity, and enhance security systems. She coordinates with design teams, construction managers, and inspection agencies to deliver mission-critical projects that support the regional justice system’s evolving needs. Bergey’s contractor relationships are primarily with general contractors and construction firms specializing in public-sector correctional facilities. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with firms experienced in secure facility construction, including those with expertise in reinforced concrete, perimeter security systems, HVAC for high-security environments, and ADA-compliant retrofitting. Her working pattern reflects a preference for established contractors with proven track records in government-funded correctional projects, emphasizing performance history, safety compliance, and timely delivery over sole-source or proprietary solutions. Bergey’s contracting approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on technical capability and project suitability. This reflects the agency’s operational urgency and the specialized nature of correctional construction, where qualifications often outweigh socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, she remains open to qualified small firms that meet stringent construction and security standards. Her primary NAICS focus is 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—reflecting deep expertise in facility upgrades, structural renovations, and new construction for high-security environments. She procures services including masonry reinforcement, electronic access control integration, inmate cell block modifications, and utility system upgrades tailored to correctional facility requirements. Her domain expertise lies in the intersection of public safety infrastructure and construction compliance, ensuring every project meets the rigorous demands of a regional jail environment.
