Aleisha Stoneberger

Aleisha Stoneberger serves as a key procurement lead within the Delaware Department of Health & Social Services, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen community-based health and social service systems for vulnerable populations. In her role, she manages the acquisition of critical services related to behavioral health infrastructure, long-term care coordination, and preventive social support programs. Her procurement activities focus on securing contracted solutions that enhance service delivery for individuals with disabilities, older adults, those recovering from substance use disorders, and low-income families. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from needs assessment and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with state and federal compliance standards. Stoneberger’s contractor relationships are broad and diverse, encompassing nonprofit service providers, behavioral health clinics, home and community-based service agencies, and technology vendors supporting integrated case management systems. She collaborates with a wide range of vendors, prioritizing those with demonstrated expertise in delivering culturally competent, person-centered care. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her pattern reflects a preference for established local and regional providers with proven capacity to serve Delaware’s unique demographic needs. Her procurement approach is non-set-aside focused, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under general competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers based on service quality, operational capacity, and outcomes rather than socioeconomic classifications. While she does not prioritize specific set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, she remains committed to equitable access and fair competition across all vendor types. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS categories related to healthcare and social assistance, including mental health and substance abuse services, home health care, and administrative support for social programs. She routinely procures managed care coordination, telehealth platforms, workforce training systems, and data integration tools that support cross-agency service delivery. Her technical expertise lies in aligning procurement strategy with public health outcomes and regulatory requirements in human services.
