Darrell Morgan

Darrell Morgan serves as the primary procurement contact for the Alabama Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services essential to state facility operations. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of contracts related to building systems maintenance, environmental compliance, and site preparation, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission of sustainable public infrastructure. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for specialized contractor services that uphold safety, regulatory standards, and long-term operational resilience across state-owned facilities. Morgan collaborates with a broad base of qualified vendors specializing in building equipment installation and site preparation services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, and land grading or earthwork operations. His procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, compliance with state and federal environmental codes, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. Morgan’s contracting patterns reflect 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 such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, vendors of all sizes are evaluated equally on technical capability, past performance, and compliance with procurement specifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors), reflecting deep specialization in facility systems maintenance and ground preparation for infrastructure projects. He routinely procures services including preventive maintenance of mechanical systems, pest and waste management, environmental remediation, and utility rough-ins—domains requiring precise technical knowledge and adherence to state building and safety codes.
