Aimee Gray

Aimee Gray serves as the primary Point of Contact for Anderson School District Three, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services essential to maintaining safe and functional educational environments. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations. Her responsibilities center on securing specialized construction, maintenance, and equipment services that directly support school operations, with a strong emphasis on HVAC systems, commercial kitchen installations, playground safety upgrades, and facility modernization projects. Aimee acts as the central liaison between school administrators, engineering consultants, and vendor communities, aligning procurement outcomes with the district’s mission of sustaining high-quality learning spaces. Aimee cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of contractors, including licensed general contractors, mechanical and electrical subcontractors, and specialty vendors in school facility services. She consistently engages with firms possessing proven experience in educational facility upgrades and maintains a preference for vendors with demonstrated track records in public sector compliance, safety standards, and timely project delivery. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based contract management to ensure accountability and long-term operational reliability. Aimee’s contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements conducted under non-set-aside authorities. She does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on merit-based selection criteria centered on technical capability, compliance history, and value delivery. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through socioeconomic set-asides, she encourages qualified small firms to compete on equal footing through clear solicitation requirements and accessible bid processes. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to building construction, HVAC installation and maintenance, commercial kitchen equipment supply, and playground safety system installation. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating technical specifications for educational facility systems, ensuring all procurements meet ADA, OSHA, and state education code requirements. Aimee’s domain knowledge spans facility lifecycle management, preventive maintenance contracts, and safety-certified equipment procurement, making her a key steward of the district’s physical infrastructure strategy.
