A report circulating online claims that Jenn Olzinger, identified as the City of Pittsburgh’s Chief Procurement Officer, has died, prompting messages of grief from people reportedly familiar with her public-service career.
However, the reported death could not be independently confirmed through a current obituary, funeral-home notice, Pittsburgh city announcement, or reliable local news report reviewed for this article.
Public records do confirm that Jennifer Olzinger has served as Chief Procurement Officer for the City of Pittsburgh. The city’s current Office of Management and Budget contacts page lists her in that position.
