Alicia Hamm

Alicia Hamm serves as a procurement lead within Florida’s Parks & Recreation agency, overseeing the acquisition of specialized equipment and security services critical to maintaining public recreational infrastructure. Her role centers on ensuring operational continuity through strategic sourcing of analytical laboratory instruments for water quality testing and contracted security patrol services for high-traffic park facilities. She aligns procurement decisions with the agency’s mission of public safety, environmental stewardship, and long-term asset management, prioritizing reliability, compliance, and lifecycle cost efficiency in all acquisitions. Hamm manages competitive solicitations under federal and state procurement guidelines, often coordinating with technical staff to define performance-based requirements for complex equipment and service deliverables. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers of analytical instrumentation and licensed security service providers, though no single vendor dominates her portfolio. She engages with a diverse pool of vendors, emphasizing technical capability, regulatory compliance, and service responsiveness over brand loyalty. Her contracting approach favors open competition and performance metrics, fostering vendor accountability through robust contract administration and post-award oversight. Alicia Hamm does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate procurement strategy focused on technical merit and operational necessity rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, high-integrity service delivery in public safety and environmental monitoring contexts. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 for analytical laboratory instruments used in aquatic facility compliance testing and NAICS 561612 for contracted security patrol services. She specializes in procuring spectrophotometers, turbidimeters, and automated water quality analyzers, as well as armed and unarmed patrol services tailored to park safety protocols. Her expertise spans environmental monitoring standards and security operations frameworks, ensuring that all acquisitions meet state and federal regulatory benchmarks for public recreation spaces.
