Alexandra Staley

Alexandra Staley serves as a state procurement professional within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, where she supports the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services essential to sustaining the state’s natural ecosystems and public recreational assets. Her role centers on managing competitive contracting processes for equipment, maintenance, and facility support services aligned with the agency’s mission of environmental stewardship and public safety. She typically handles acquisitions related to heavy machinery, janitorial operations, and recreational facility management, ensuring compliance with state procurement statutes and federal contracting guidelines. Her work directly enables the agency’s ability to maintain forest health, protect aquatic habitats, and operate state-owned campgrounds and transit systems. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Staley engages with a diverse range of vendors specializing in industrial equipment, custodial services, and land-use support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with no set-asides currently applied to her portfolio. This suggests a focus on broad market competition to secure technical expertise and operational reliability, particularly for mission-critical machinery and facility upkeep. She maintains professional vendor relationships grounded in performance-based contracting and lifecycle management principles. Staley’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her procurements conducted under standard commercial terms without socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though it does not preclude small business participation through open competitions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333924 for industrial trucks and material handling equipment, reflecting her oversight of fleet and terrain-access machinery vital to conservation operations. She also regularly procures janitorial services (561720) and facility management solutions including parking operations (812930) and RV park services (721211), demonstrating expertise in managing the operational infrastructure of state-managed public lands and recreational facilities.
