Alison BARRY

Alison Barry serves as a procurement lead within the Maryland Department of Health, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver integrated public health services through efficient and compliant acquisition practices. Though her formal title is not listed, her role as a SLED (State, Local, Education) procurement professional centers on managing janitorial and facility support services critical to maintaining safe, sanitary, and operational health facilities across the state. She ensures procurement activities align with state regulations and public health priorities, overseeing the full lifecycle of service contracts—from needs assessment and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—while emphasizing transparency and accountability in taxpayer-funded expenditures. Barry’s contractor relationships are primarily with vendors specializing in commercial cleaning, waste management, and facility maintenance services. While no specific contractor names are currently identified in the data, her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established service providers with proven capacity to deliver consistent, high-volume janitorial operations across diverse public health sites, including clinics, behavioral health centers, and administrative facilities. Her working relationships reflect a focus on reliability, compliance with health and safety standards, and adherence to state-mandated service level agreements. Barry’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a strategic focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This suggests her portfolio prioritizes broad market participation and cost-efficiency over targeted socioeconomic objectives, though she remains compliant with all federal and state small business reporting requirements. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 561720, Janitorial Services, reflecting deep expertise in facility support contracting. She specializes in procuring routine and specialized cleaning services, disinfection protocols, and waste handling solutions tailored to healthcare environments, demonstrating technical knowledge of infection control standards and environmental health regulations critical to public health infrastructure.
