Alicia Coleman

Alicia Coleman serves as a key procurement professional within the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration, supporting the agency’s mission to secure critical infrastructure and operational services for state-owned facilities, including universities, correctional institutions, and healthcare centers. In her capacity as a SLED (State, Local, and Education) contracting officer, she manages the acquisition of essential support services that enable day-to-day governmental operations, with a focus on temporary staffing, administrative functions, and health insurance services. Her procurement activities directly facilitate the deployment of human capital and operational infrastructure necessary to sustain public services across Mississippi’s institutional landscape. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement records, Coleman’s portfolio consistently engages vendors providing temporary help services, office administrative support, and direct health and medical insurance coverage. She maintains a vendor-neutral procurement posture, prioritizing competitive bidding and compliance with state procurement statutes to ensure transparency and value. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven capacity in public-sector delivery environments. Coleman’s acquisition strategy shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of procurements conducted under open competition. This reflects a deliberate alignment with state policy emphasizing broad market access and equitable opportunity over targeted set-aside programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes compete on equal footing under full and open competition standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), NAICS 561110 (Office Administrative Services), and NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers). She specializes in securing workforce solutions, clerical and management support services, and state-aligned health benefit administration, demonstrating deep expertise in human capital and institutional support contracting within the public sector.
