Susan Inman

Susan Inman serves as a key procurement lead within the New Mexico agency, driving acquisitions that support critical infrastructure modernization and public safety initiatives. Her role centers on managing technical and professional services contracts essential to maintaining state-operated facilities, utilities, and institutional systems. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—with a focus on ensuring compliance with state and federal regulatory standards. Her portfolio consistently includes specialized services tied to operational continuity, environmental compliance, and technical instrumentation, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to sustain resilient public works. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Inman maintains a broad network of vendors providing translation and interpretation services, industrial process control instrumentation, and temporary staffing solutions. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated technical competence in niche domains, particularly those capable of supporting multilingual operations and precision measurement systems across diverse state facilities. She engages with both large-capacity suppliers and specialized niche firms to ensure scalable, reliable service delivery. Inman’s contracting approach is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under general competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit, performance history, and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, indicating a procurement philosophy prioritizing capability and mission alignment over targeted set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), supporting multilingual public engagement and regulatory compliance; NAICS 334513 (Industrial Process Control Instruments), critical for monitoring water, energy, and hazardous waste systems; and NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), ensuring workforce flexibility for field operations and emergency response. This blend underscores deep expertise in technical services that underpin infrastructure resilience and public safety.
