Alan Parker<

Alan Parker serves as a procurement lead for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize infrastructure and ensure operational resilience at the region’s primary aviation hub. In this capacity, he manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions related to facility upgrades, environmental compliance, and utility system enhancements, with a focus on services that sustain safe and efficient airport operations. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for professional, environmental, and facility support services, ensuring alignment with federal and state procurement regulations and strategic sustainability goals. Parker collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in landscaping, janitorial, waste collection, and administrative consulting services. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he maintains consistent working relationships with firms capable of delivering high-volume, low-complexity operational support under performance-based contracts. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and service continuity, favoring vendors with proven track records in municipal and aviation environments. Parker’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. This indicates a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences, prioritizing capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic criteria. His approach aligns with the agency’s operational needs, where broad vendor participation and service scalability are prioritized over targeted small business programs. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561730 (landscaping), 561720 (janitorial), 562111 (solid waste collection), and 541611 (management consulting), reflecting a need for ongoing facility maintenance and operational advisory services. He also engages in acquisitions under 523150, suggesting involvement in financial or investment-related advisory work tied to capital improvement funding. His expertise lies in procuring non-technical, service-based solutions critical to airport sustainability and daily operations.
