Jacqueline Nunez

Jacqueline Nunez serves as a procurement specialist within the City of Austin, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize critical public infrastructure and municipal services. In her role, she manages the acquisition of civil works, utility systems, and facility-related goods and services, ensuring alignment with the city’s strategic goals of public safety, environmental sustainability, and resilient urban operations. Her procurement portfolio primarily encompasses site preparation, chemical manufacturing, and specialized manufacturing sectors tied to infrastructure development. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local procurement regulations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented in the system, Nunez engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering technical solutions in civil construction, chemical production, and industrial manufacturing. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and vendor accountability, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical capability, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability. She maintains a vendor-neutral posture, prioritizing competitive bidding and value-driven outcomes over exclusive relationships. Nunez’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on broad market access rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, her process remains transparent and accessible to all qualified bidders, supporting equitable competition. Her primary NAICS focus includes site preparation contractors, basic inorganic chemical manufacturing, miscellaneous chemical product production, and apparel accessories manufacturing—reflecting a unique blend of civil infrastructure needs and specialized industrial supply requirements. She procures materials and services critical to water and sewer system upgrades, transportation construction, and municipal facility maintenance, demonstrating deep expertise in technical procurement domains tied to urban engineering and public works operations.
