Alisha Auch

Alisha Auch serves as a key procurement lead for the City of Reno, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize critical public infrastructure and municipal services. In her capacity as a SLED (State, Local, and Tribal) contracting professional, she manages acquisitions for specialized technical services and transportation equipment supply chains essential to maintaining the city’s utility systems, wastewater infrastructure, and public works assets. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while aligning purchases with long-term capital improvement plans. She typically handles complex solicitations for engineering support, environmental remediation services, and specialized equipment procurement tied to transportation and utility network upgrades. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in the procurement record, Auch’s acquisitions consistently engage qualified vendors with proven expertise in civil infrastructure supply chains, including manufacturers and wholesalers of non-motorized transportation and utility system components. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for established suppliers with technical certifications and demonstrated capacity to deliver specialized equipment under strict municipal specifications, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Auch’s procurement activity reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued under non-set-aside categories. There is no current evidence of targeted socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs in her portfolio, indicating a primary focus on technical capability and vendor capacity over socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the City of Reno’s infrastructure-driven procurement philosophy. Her primary NAICS focus is 423860—Transportation Equipment and Supplies (except Motor Vehicle) Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep specialization in procuring industrial-grade components for public works, including stormwater management systems, traffic control devices, and non-motorized transit infrastructure hardware. Her technical domain expertise lies in sourcing durable, code-compliant equipment for municipal engineering projects, ensuring alignment with environmental and safety standards.
