Alison Bradford

Alison Bradford serves as a procurement advisor with the Mississippi Procurement Technical Assistance Program, providing strategic guidance to state and local government entities on compliant, efficient contracting practices. In this role, she supports public agencies in navigating the full lifecycle of procurement—from needs assessment and solicitation design to contract administration—ensuring alignment with state policies and federal regulatory frameworks. Her expertise centers on temporary help services procurement, where she helps clients structure task orders and blanket purchase agreements that meet dynamic workforce demands while maintaining fiscal accountability and transparency. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the dataset, Bradford facilitates connections between public agencies and a broad spectrum of service providers specializing in temporary staffing, administrative support, and workforce deployment. She fosters vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting standards, emphasizing responsiveness, scalability, and compliance with labor and safety regulations. Her approach encourages competitive bidding and vendor diversity to ensure agencies access high-quality, cost-effective labor solutions. Bradford’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her supported contracts classified as unrestricted. This indicates a focus on maximizing competition and operational flexibility rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her work ensures all vendors—regardless of certification status—are evaluated on merit, capability, and compliance with state procurement statutes. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), where she specializes in procuring contingent labor for public service functions including clerical support, emergency response staffing, and administrative backfill. She brings deep expertise in workforce mobilization strategies, time-and-materials contracting, and performance metrics for service delivery, ensuring Mississippi’s public agencies maintain operational continuity through agile, compliant staffing solutions.
