Alexa Kafury

Alexa Kafury serves as a Buyer for the City of Cincinnati’s Procurement Office, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the municipality’s infrastructure resilience and public service delivery objectives. She manages the acquisition of critical civil works, utility systems, and operational support services aligned with the city’s long-term investment in water and sewer infrastructure. Her portfolio includes competitively bid contracts for pipeline rehabilitation, treatment facility upgrades, and related civil construction, as well as essential municipal services such as security systems and facility maintenance. Kafury ensures all procurements adhere to state and federal compliance standards while supporting equitable access to city contracts. Kafury maintains a vendor-neutral procurement approach, engaging with a diverse range of contractors across the civil engineering, utility, and security services sectors. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently collaborates with firms possessing proven expertise in water infrastructure construction, chemical handling for treatment processes, and integrated security system installation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for qualified, technically capable vendors with demonstrated experience in municipal-scale projects, fostering reliable, performance-based vendor partnerships. Kafury’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the City of Cincinnati’s strategic emphasis on maximizing value and technical capability through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences, her processes remain fully compliant with all federal and state socioeconomic reporting requirements, ensuring transparency and accountability. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems) and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), with additional activity in highway infrastructure (237310) and security systems services (561621). She specializes in procuring engineered solutions for water distribution networks, wastewater treatment components, and integrated security platforms, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, performance standards, and public works procurement best practices.
