Alicia Saleh serves as the MWBE Coordinator at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing equitable procurement practices aligned with the university’s mission of clinical excellence and public health innovation. In this capacity, she ensures compliance with New York State Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) goals while facilitating the acquisition of mission-critical services that support academic medical operations, research infrastructure, and patient care delivery. Her procurement focus centers on professional and technical services essential to sustaining a high-functioning academic health center, including personal services, engineering support, and specialized laboratory and technology solutions. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented in the award database, Saleh engages with a diverse vendor ecosystem that includes service providers delivering specialized health-related support, analytical instrumentation maintenance, and computer systems integration. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting and vendor accountability, ensuring that service delivery meets the rigorous standards of an academic medical center. She collaborates closely with internal stakeholders to align procurement strategies with operational needs and regulatory compliance. Saleh’s contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic equity, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a strategic focus on open competition rather than targeted set-asides. This approach does not diminish her dedication to MWBE inclusion; rather, it underscores her role in ensuring that MWBE firms compete on equal footing within broad solicitations, leveraging certification pathways to enhance vendor visibility and participation. Her primary procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), reflecting demand for specialized administrative, technical, and operational support staff. Additional focus areas include engineering services, analytical laboratory instrumentation, and computer-related services, demonstrating expertise in procuring high-precision technical solutions that underpin clinical research and healthcare delivery systems.
