Lead State AdministratorAimee Elliott serves as a procurement specialist within the Utah agency, supporting the acquisition of critical infrastructure and municipal services essential to public safety and community resilience. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, engineering, and facility support programs, ensuring alignment with state and federal standards for public works. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding procurements for transportation, water systems, and institutional facilities, with a focus on modernizing aging assets through technically sound and compliant contracting practices. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, durable, and efficient public infrastructure through strategic sourcing and vendor engagement.
Elliott collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including engineering firms, environmental consultants, automotive repair providers, and catering services, reflecting the broad scope of support needed for municipal operations. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with both large-capability firms and small, local vendors capable of delivering specialized services under tight timelines. Her contracting patterns emphasize responsiveness, technical competency, and adherence to performance-based requirements, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and regulatory compliance.
Elliott’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and scalability over socioeconomic preferences, though small businesses remain eligible and competitive within the open marketplace. Her approach prioritizes equitable access and transparent evaluation criteria, ensuring all vendors—regardless of size or certification—are assessed on capability and value delivery.
Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336112 (motor vehicle body manufacturing), 541611 (management consulting), 541620 (environmental consulting), 722320 (catering), and 811111 (automotive repair). These categories underscore her expertise in managing complex, multi-disciplinary contracts that bridge infrastructure development with operational support services, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, environmental compliance, and facility maintenance standards.
