Allison Sullivan

Allison Sullivan serves as a key procurement lead within the Connecticut Department of Public Health, supporting the agency’s mission to advance population health through strategic acquisition of public health services. In her role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts for professional, scientific, and technical services critical to disease prevention, reproductive health, and community violence intervention programs. Her procurement activities center on securing evidence-based interventions, data analytics support, and program implementation services that align with state and federal public health standards. She ensures compliance with state procurement codes while fostering transparency and accountability in award decisions. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Sullivan’s contracting patterns indicate a preference for partnerships with professional service firms specializing in public health program administration, epidemiological analysis, and behavioral health outreach. She engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering scalable, culturally competent services across urban and rural communities, often requiring specialized expertise in HIV/AIDS support, tuberculosis control, and perinatal care coordination. Sullivan’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of procurements classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on capability-driven selection rather than socioeconomic preferences, though the agency maintains compliance with all federal and state small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes technical merit and programmatic impact over set-aside mechanisms, while still ensuring equitable access for qualified small and mid-sized firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 923120 (Administration of Public Health Programs), reflecting deep expertise in contracting for public health surveillance, community health outreach, data management systems, and preventive service delivery. She routinely sources services related to health education campaigns, risk assessment tools, and interagency coordination platforms essential to sustaining population-level health outcomes.
