Aleizja Owens

Aleizja Owens serves as a procurement lead for the City of Canon City, overseeing the acquisition of technology, logistics, and infrastructure support services critical to municipal operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from needs assessment and solicitation to award and compliance—ensuring alignment with the city’s strategic goals in public safety, transportation, and utility modernization. Her acquisitions primarily focus on IT systems, hardware distribution, and warehousing solutions that enable efficient delivery of core public services, with a strong emphasis on technical reliability and long-term operational sustainability. Owens collaborates with a diverse array of vendors, including software publishers, hardware wholesalers, and systems design firms, to secure mission-critical solutions for municipal IT and utility networks. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent relationships with firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and compliant technology infrastructure. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability, and adherence to performance-based specifications, fostering partnerships that support ongoing system integration and maintenance. Owens does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring broad market access while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards. Her approach supports a competitive environment where vendors are selected based on capability, past performance, and alignment with the city’s technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 513210 (Software Publishers), 423710 (Hardware Merchant Wholesalers), and 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage). She regularly acquires custom software development, network infrastructure, enterprise hardware, and logistics support services, demonstrating deep expertise in municipal technology modernization and supply chain resilience for public-sector operations.
