Alison MacLeod

Alison MacLeod serves as a key procurement lead within the New York City Office of the Comptroller, supporting the agency’s mission to safeguard public financial integrity through expert third-party administration of pension and insurance programs. In her role, she manages complex acquisitions aligned with actuarial, claims processing, and financial reporting modernization initiatives, ensuring compliance with municipal fiscal oversight standards. Her procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on specialized services that enable accurate, transparent, and sustainable management of city-funded benefit systems, primarily involving pharmacy benefit management and third-party administration of public funds. MacLeod collaborates with a select group of highly specialized vendors possessing deep expertise in public-sector insurance and pension administration. These contractors typically offer integrated platforms for claims adjudication, provider network management, fraud detection, and actuarial modeling. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracts that emphasize data interoperability, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance, often requiring vendors to demonstrate proven experience with large-scale municipal systems and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her evaluations are rigorously merit-based, rewarding vendors with demonstrable track records in public pension and insurance administration. MacLeod’s primary NAICS focus is 524292—Pharmacy Benefit Management and Other Third Party Administration of Insurance and Pension Funds—reflecting her domain expertise in managing complex, high-volume benefit systems. She procures enterprise-grade solutions for claims automation, beneficiary enrollment, provider payment reconciliation, and financial reporting analytics, ensuring the OOC maintains fiduciary accountability through technologically advanced, auditable, and scalable third-party services.
