Alicia Johnson

Alicia Johnson serves as a procurement lead for the Riverside County Transportation Commission, where she plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and modern transportation infrastructure. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for a diverse portfolio of services and construction-related contracts, ensuring alignment with state and federal compliance standards, environmental regulations, and regional mobility goals. Her work directly supports the planning and execution of highway improvements, transit enhancements, and intelligent transportation systems, with a focus on timely, transparent, and fiscally responsible procurement practices. Johnson maintains strategic partnerships with a broad range of vendors, primarily in temporary staffing, civil construction, and transportation technology sectors. She routinely engages with general contractors, engineering firms, and service providers experienced in public works delivery, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize performance, safety, and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in California transportation projects and a strong emphasis on local economic impact. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on competitive, full-and-open solicitations that emphasize technical capability and value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic classifications. Johnson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting her core involvement in labor-intensive project support and critical infrastructure development. She also procures services under NAICS 454210, indicating engagement with transportation-related logistics and digital service providers. Her technical expertise centers on integrating workforce solutions with civil construction delivery, ensuring seamless coordination between field operations and administrative support systems.
