Aliza Kim serves as the Program Point of Contact for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, playing a critical role in aligning technical acquisitions with the agency’s mission to modernize healthcare delivery through data-driven solutions. In this capacity, she collaborates closely with contracting officers and program managers to define requirements, evaluate vendor proposals, and ensure compliance with federal procurement standards. Her work primarily supports IT modernization initiatives, including system integration, analytics platforms, and digital service delivery tools critical to Medicare, Medicaid, and Health Insurance Marketplace operations. She is instrumental in translating clinical and operational needs into technically sound solicitation documents that drive mission-critical outcomes. Aliza maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of large federal contractors, including Maximus Federal Services, Peraton Enterprise Solutions, Novitas Solutions, National Government Services, and General Dynamics Information Technology. These partnerships are centered on long-term, performance-based contracts for systems design, data analytics, and digital infrastructure support. Her engagement with these vendors reflects a preference for established contractors with proven track records in large-scale federal health IT environments, ensuring continuity, scalability, and compliance with CMS’s stringent security and interoperability standards. Aliza’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic categorizations, prioritizing outcome-driven performance and system interoperability. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her acquisition strategy, all procurements adhere to federal transparency and fair competition requirements. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), encompassing end-to-end systems architecture, cloud-based health information platforms, and interoperable data exchange solutions. She specializes in acquiring technical services that enable real-time analytics, claims processing automation, and patient data integration across federal and state healthcare systems.
