Adrienne Holsey serves as a Contracting Officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical services that support the administration of Medicare, Medicaid, and the Health Insurance Marketplace. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing CMS’s strategic priorities of equitable healthcare access and operational modernization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional and technical services, including management consulting, health insurance operations, and custom software development, all aligned with evidence-based policy implementation and technology modernization initiatives. Holsey maintains long-standing relationships with key contractors including Maximus Federal Services, Peraton Enterprise Solutions, Novitas Solutions, National Government Services, and General Dynamics Information Technology. These partnerships are centered on delivering large-scale, high-complexity services such as claims processing, beneficiary enrollment systems, data analytics, and health plan management. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, outcome-driven deliverables, and continuous contractor accountability to ensure alignment with CMS’s quality and efficiency goals. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-asides. This indicates a focus on leveraging the broadest possible market capability to meet CMS’s operational scale and technical demands, rather than socioeconomic set-aside programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to fair and transparent competition standards.
