Alan Zollo

Alan Zollo serves as a Contract Officer for the State University of New York at Cortland, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure, operational services, and educational support systems aligned with SUNY’s mission of advancing STEM education and campus modernization. His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, technical services, and institutional support contracts, ensuring compliance with state procurement regulations while enabling safe, efficient, and technologically advanced learning environments. He oversees the full lifecycle of solicitations—from market research and RFP development to award and contract administration—prioritizing value, compliance, and long-term operational sustainability. Zollo maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across diverse service sectors, including specialized contractors in HVAC systems, facility maintenance, and institutional support services. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, qualified vendors with proven capabilities in public sector education environments. He engages both large and small firms with demonstrated expertise in delivering mission-critical services under strict regulatory and budgetary constraints. His procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit, competitive pricing, and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with SUNY’s institutional procurement guidelines. Zollo’s approach prioritizes transparency and broad market access, ensuring all eligible vendors have equitable opportunity to compete for contracts that support campus operations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting ongoing investments in campus climate control and facility resilience. He also regularly procures services under 812990 (All Other Personal Services), including specialized technical and administrative support, and occasionally engages with contractors in industrial equipment manufacturing and automotive services to maintain campus fleet and utility systems. His expertise spans facility infrastructure, operational logistics, and institutional service delivery within the public higher education sector.
