Alexandra Bocito

Alexandra Bocito serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Defense Logistics Agency’s DCSO Philadelphia (SP4701), supporting the agency’s mission to modernize defense information systems through research-driven technology solutions. While not a lead contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical IT infrastructure projects, particularly those involving cloud-based enterprise platforms, systems integration, and custom software development for intelligence and command and control environments. Her responsibilities include coordinating requirements validation, supporting market research, and ensuring alignment between technical stakeholders and acquisition teams to streamline the procurement of advanced engineering and scientific services. Bocito collaborates closely with a broad network of federal contractors and research institutions that specialize in defense-grade software development and systems engineering. Though no primary contractors are identified in current award data, her work consistently engages firms with expertise in secure software architecture, data analytics platforms, and enterprise cloud migration. Her working relationships reflect a preference for technical partners with proven experience in DoD compliance frameworks, including FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53, and DoD IL5/6 environments. Bocito’s procurement activities reflect a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a strategic emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission readiness and innovation over targeted small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—reflecting deep engagement with R&D contracts for advanced computing, secure systems integration, and operational technology prototyping. She routinely supports acquisitions for custom algorithm development, cybersecurity-enhanced software, and mission-specific simulation tools, demonstrating specialized expertise in engineering and applied science domains critical to defense logistics modernization.
