Caitlin Koterba

Caitlin Koterba serves as a key procurement professional within the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, supporting the modernization of Medicare and Medicaid programs through strategic acquisition of technical and professional services. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts focused on digital transformation, data analytics, and operational support systems critical to program integrity and beneficiary experience. Her work centers on securing consulting services, IT modernization solutions, and infrastructure enablement tools that align with CMS’s mission to enhance system efficiency and security through evidence-based procurement practices. Koterba maintains a primary contracting relationship with Rocket Media Group, LLC, a vendor engaged to deliver specialized media, communications, and digital outreach services that support public awareness and enrollment initiatives. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, non-set-aside contractors with proven capacity to deliver complex, mission-critical solutions under tight regulatory and compliance frameworks. She consistently works with vendors capable of integrating with federal health IT ecosystems and adhering to HIPAA, FISMA, and NIST standards. Koterba’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, reflecting a focus on open competition and technical merit rather than socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes capability, scalability, and compliance over vendor certification status, indicating a deliberate strategy to source the most qualified providers regardless of small business designation. Her procurement activity is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 532310 (General Rental Centers), which in this context likely supports the acquisition of specialized equipment, temporary infrastructure, or technology-enabled rental services critical to field operations, data center support, or event-based program delivery. This unusual focus suggests a highly niche operational need—possibly for secure, compliant, temporary hardware or digital kiosks deployed in community outreach or enrollment environments—requiring deep domain expertise in federal health program logistics.
