Alexandria Navolynski

Alexandria Navolynski serves as a key procurement professional within the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries, supporting the agency’s mission to advance workplace safety, workforce development, and access to critical social services. In her role, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for child care and family support programs, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and overseeing vendor performance to align with public service objectives. She specializes in service-based acquisitions that directly enable access to early learning and child care infrastructure across Washington communities. Navolynski collaborates with a broad network of child care providers, nonprofit service organizations, and local early learning consortia to deliver high-quality, community-based programs. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with entities that demonstrate proven capacity in early childhood education, family outreach, and culturally responsive care delivery. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, equity, and outcomes-based performance metrics, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who align with the agency’s public service ethos. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing participation from all qualified vendors without socioeconomic restrictions, prioritizing programmatic impact over certification-based preferences. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains inclusive and accessible to small businesses that meet technical and operational requirements. Navolynski’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 624410—Child Care Services—encompassing center-based care, home-based provider networks, infant and toddler programs, and family support services. She procures comprehensive child development solutions, including curriculum implementation, staff training, licensing compliance support, and data systems for enrollment and quality monitoring. Her technical expertise lies in aligning service delivery with state early learning standards and federal child care subsidy frameworks.
