Alejandro Fernandez

Alejandro Fernandez serves as a procurement professional within Roanoke City Government, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain and enhance public infrastructure through strategic acquisition of construction, site preparation, and municipal support services. In his role, he manages the full lifecycle of contracts for civil works, building maintenance, and operational support, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations. His acquisitions primarily focus on commercial and institutional construction, site development, and transportation-related infrastructure, aligning with the city’s priorities in urban renewal and public safety. He works closely with project engineers, finance teams, and legal advisors to ensure procurements meet technical specifications, budgetary constraints, and community needs. Fernandez engages with a diverse range of contractors, including general builders, civil works specialists, and temporary staffing providers, fostering collaborative relationships built on performance accountability and regulatory compliance. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with firms possessing proven experience in municipal construction and infrastructure maintenance, prioritizing vendors with demonstrated capacity to deliver on complex public works timelines and quality standards. His procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic programs. This approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection and broad market access, with no current reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Fernandez’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238910 (Site Preparation), and 423860 (Transportation Equipment Wholesalers), with additional activity in highway construction and temporary staffing services. He specializes in acquiring services related to site grading, utility coordination, building envelope systems, and specialized equipment procurement, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with municipal infrastructure lifecycle management and public works delivery models.
