Aileen Shamoon

Aileen Shamoon serves as the primary procurement lead for the Wayne County Airport Authority, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and environmental services essential to the operational integrity of Detroit Metropolitan Airport. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from needs assessment and solicitation to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with federal, state, and ADA compliance standards. Her responsibilities center on securing specialized contractor support for facility modernization, capital improvements, and aviation-related infrastructure enhancements, with a strong emphasis on technical precision and regulatory adherence. Shamoon collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in building equipment systems and environmental consulting services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in HVAC, electrical systems, airport lighting, and environmental remediation. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor qualifications, technical capability, and past performance, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate reliability in high-stakes aviation environments. Shamoon’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a procurement strategy prioritizing technical merit and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. This approach underscores a commitment to selecting the most qualified providers to support mission-critical airport functions, with no formal reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business set-asides. Her pattern indicates a focus on capability-driven selection rather than socioeconomic targeting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting deep expertise in aviation infrastructure systems and environmental compliance. She regularly procures services related to mechanical and electrical system installations, air quality monitoring, stormwater management, and environmental impact assessments—all vital to sustaining the airport’s operational safety and regulatory standing.
