In this role, she manages the acquisition of goods and services critical to operational efficiency, including office equipment and technical support systems necessary for program delivery. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor responses, and ensuring compliance with state procurement regulations. She plays a key part in enabling the agency’s mission by securing reliable, cost-effective resources that underpin programs such as ReCoverCA and other housing recovery efforts, ensuring seamless logistical and administrative support across statewide operations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented in the procurement records, Alicia consistently engages with a broad base of vendors specializing in commercial office equipment distribution and related services. Her procurement process emphasizes competitive bidding under full and open competition, fostering transparency and broad market participation. She works with merchant wholesalers and distributors who provide durable, compliant, and scalable solutions aligned with state procurement standards, maintaining a vendor ecosystem that prioritizes reliability and service consistency. Alicia’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach aligns with the agency’s operational mandate to maximize efficiency and ensure equitable access to procurement opportunities across all qualified vendors, regardless of business size or certification status. Her pattern indicates a focus on performance and compliance over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with state-level directives for certain non-programmatic procurements. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 423420, Office Equipment Merchant Wholesalers, indicating a specialization in acquiring office machinery, furniture, communication devices, and related supplies essential for administrative functions. She ensures that all acquisitions meet state standards for durability, accessibility, and interoperability, demonstrating technical expertise in procurement logistics for non-construction, non-IT infrastructure needs supporting housing program delivery.
