Allie Perline

Allie Perline serves as a key procurement lead within the Agency of Human Services – Office of the Secretary in Vermont, supporting the agency’s mission to enhance the well-being of vulnerable populations through strategic acquisitions of individual and family services. In this role, Perline manages the full lifecycle of contracting activities for programs focused on child and family services, refugee integration, health equity, and Medicaid integrity. They oversee the solicitation, evaluation, and award of service-based contracts designed to strengthen community-based support systems, ensuring alignment with state and federal compliance standards. Their acquisitions are primarily centered on non-medical social services, with an emphasis on evidence-based interventions and quality assurance frameworks. Perline collaborates with a diverse array of service providers, including nonprofit social service agencies, community-based organizations, and specialized consultants delivering case management, behavioral health support, and culturally competent outreach. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, their procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, mission-aligned vendors with demonstrated capacity in public sector service delivery. Working relationships are characterized by long-term partnerships built on performance metrics, outcome reporting, and compliance with state-mandated service standards. Perline’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside awards, indicating a focus on competitive, open procurement rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes capability and compliance over socioeconomic categorization, ensuring the selection of the most qualified providers to meet critical public service needs. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 624190 — Other Individual and Family Services — encompassing a broad spectrum of social support services including family preservation, youth counseling, refugee resettlement assistance, and integrated case management. Perline’s expertise lies in procuring high-impact, human-centered services that require deep community engagement, cultural competency, and robust performance monitoring systems.
