Alicia Cullop

Alicia Cullop serves as a procurement professional supporting Hagerstown Community College’s mission to maintain and modernize its physical infrastructure and operational systems. In her capacity as a SLED (State, Local, and Education) procurement specialist, she manages acquisitions critical to campus safety, accessibility, and long-term sustainability, including facility construction, grounds maintenance, and transportation support services. Her role ensures compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while aligning purchasing decisions with institutional strategic goals. She typically handles complex contracts for capital improvement projects, mechanical and electrical equipment, and institutional support services, coordinating closely with facilities management and finance teams to deliver mission-critical outcomes. Cullop cultivates relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in industrial machinery, commercial construction, and janitorial services. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with regional contractors possessing expertise in institutional facility upgrades and equipment maintenance. She favors vendors with proven experience in educational environment compliance, safety standards, and sustainable building practices, often requiring performance-based deliverables and warranty provisions to ensure long-term operational reliability. Cullop’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all federal and state small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes value, quality, and lifecycle cost over socioeconomic categorization, ensuring the college secures the most technically capable and reliable partners for its infrastructure needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333924 (industrial truck and material handling equipment), reflecting a significant investment in campus logistics and maintenance machinery. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 236220 (commercial building construction) and 237310 (highway and bridge construction), demonstrating expertise in capital project oversight. Additional activity in janitorial services (561720) underscores her role in sustaining day-to-day operational integrity across campus facilities.
