Allison Warman

Allison Warman serves as a key procurement lead for the Kentucky Department of Parks, overseeing the acquisition of services critical to the operational stewardship of the state’s parks and historic sites. In this role, she manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, sustainable, and accessible public recreational environments. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for landscape maintenance, waste management, and environmental compliance services, ensuring alignment with state and federal procurement regulations. She plays a central role in translating operational needs into transparent, competitively awarded contracts that support long-term resource preservation and visitor safety. Warman collaborates with a broad range of service providers, primarily in landscaping, environmental services, and facility support sectors. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with vendors specializing in groundskeeping, pest control, and septic system maintenance. She fosters partnerships with firms capable of delivering scalable, environmentally compliant solutions across multiple park locations, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes in vendor selection. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes capability and service quality over socioeconomic classification, ensuring the most qualified vendors are selected to meet the department’s operational demands. Warman’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), reflecting the agency’s core needs in grounds maintenance and environmental infrastructure. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 315210, 711130, and 711310 to support cultural programming and visitor engagement initiatives. Her expertise lies in managing complex, multi-site service contracts that require coordination between environmental compliance, public safety, and community outreach objectives.
