Anginna Sims

Anginna Sims supports the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, playing a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission to modernize Medicare and Medicaid through strategic procurement of technical and professional services. She manages acquisitions focused on digital transformation, data infrastructure, and system security, ensuring that contracting activities align with federal modernization goals and beneficiary-centric outcomes. Her work centers on securing consulting, IT infrastructure, and custom software solutions that enhance program efficiency and operational resilience across federal health systems. Sims collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in cloud-based computing, systems design, and data processing services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in health IT modernization, including those delivering secure web hosting, enterprise data integration, and custom application development. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, vendor scalability, and compliance with federal cybersecurity standards, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of supporting complex, mission-critical environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 92.9% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. However, she maintains a consistent, albeit limited, commitment to small business participation, with 7.1% of awards directed toward service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating alignment with federal goals for veteran-owned enterprise inclusion. Sims’ procurement activity is heavily concentrated in NAICS 518210 (computing infrastructure and data processing services) and 541512 (computer systems design), reflecting deep expertise in procuring cloud-enabled platforms, data analytics systems, and integrated IT architectures. She routinely sources services that support health information exchange, cybersecurity hardening, and interoperable digital platforms—core components of CMS’s digital modernization strategy.
