Alicia Bullard serves as the Program Point of Contact for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, playing a critical role in aligning technical acquisitions with the agency’s public health mission. She facilitates the planning, requirements definition, and contract execution for high-priority scientific and operational initiatives, particularly those involving data analytics, laboratory systems, and outbreak response infrastructure. Her work bridges programmatic needs with procurement processes, ensuring that acquisitions support CDC’s strategic priorities in disease surveillance, diagnostic innovation, and real-time public health intelligence. She typically handles complex service-based contracts requiring specialized technical expertise and rigorous compliance with federal health and data security standards. Bullard maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading biopharmaceutical and medical distribution entities, including Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, GlaxoSmithKline LLC, Pfizer Inc., Sanofi Pasteur Inc., and McKesson Specialty Distribution LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on the procurement of advanced diagnostic tools, vaccine distribution systems, and integrated data platforms essential for national immunization and emergency response efforts. Her engagement with these contractors reflects a focus on mission-critical, high-reliability solutions rather than commodity procurement, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and regulatory compliance. Bullard’s contracting portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise, particularly in domains requiring specialized scientific and IT capabilities. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her acquisitions remain open to all qualified vendors, including small businesses that meet stringent technical and operational requirements. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), underscoring her specialization in custom software development, health data integration, analytics platforms, and laboratory information management systems. She consistently acquires services that enable real-time epidemiological modeling, secure data exchange between public health entities, and scalable infrastructure to support national disease detection and response capabilities.
