Alexandra Roig Vitali

Alexandra Roig Vitali serves as a key procurement professional within the National Science Foundation, supporting the agency’s mission to advance U.S. scientific leadership through strategic acquisition of research-enabling services. She manages a portfolio of complex, high-impact contracts focused on scientific consulting, policy analysis, and technical assistance to support NSF’s research infrastructure and workforce development priorities. Her acquisitions typically involve performance-based, fixed-price and cost-reimbursement instruments for professional services that enhance the nation’s scientific ecosystem, including evaluation frameworks, data analytics, and research policy support. She maintains established working relationships with leading federal contractors including Booz Allen Hamilton, Peraton Services & Solutions, Criterion Systems, Research Triangle Institute, and KPMG LLP. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, multi-year task order engagements under GWACs and IDIQs, often involving interdisciplinary teams delivering technical advisory services, program evaluation, and systems integration for federally funded research initiatives. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive, full and open bidding with a focus on contractor expertise in scientific and technical domains rather than socioeconomic status. Alexandra’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical capability and institutional experience in selecting contractors. This approach aligns with NSF’s mission-critical need for high-caliber, nationally recognized firms capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned services at scale. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 813910 (Business Associations) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting a deep specialization in securing expert advisory services for research program design, scientific assessment, and innovation policy analysis. She routinely procures services related to research impact evaluation, cybersecurity for research networks, advanced computing support, and STEM workforce development initiatives, demonstrating domain expertise in the scientific infrastructure landscape.
