Alexa Smittle serves as a key procurement lead for the City of Seal Beach, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain and modernize critical public infrastructure through strategic acquisition of technical services. In her role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts for information technology and systems support, ensuring alignment with the city’s infrastructure resilience goals. Her acquisitions primarily focus on IT modernization, data management, and digital service delivery for public works and utility operations, with a strong emphasis on sustainable, long-term system performance. She works closely with internal departments to define technical requirements and ensure compliance with state and local procurement regulations. Smittle collaborates with a broad spectrum of IT service providers, including systems integrators, software developers, and managed service firms, to deliver tailored solutions for municipal operations. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in municipal IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and asset management platforms. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven agreements that prioritize reliability, scalability, and interoperability across city systems. Smittle’s procurement strategy is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under general competitive procedures. This reflects a focus on technical capability and value over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains compliant with all federal and state small business reporting requirements. Her approach prioritizes open competition to ensure the city secures the most qualified providers for complex technical needs. Her primary NAICS focus is 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing custom software development, IT consulting, systems analysis, and technical support for municipal applications. She procures services related to geographic information systems (GIS), water and transportation data platforms, cybersecurity frameworks, and cloud-based infrastructure management, demonstrating deep expertise in public-sector IT modernization and digital transformation initiatives.
