Jennifer Perez

Jennifer Perez serves as the primary procurement lead for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical information technology and administrative support services that underpin the agency’s housing counseling, financial literacy, and mortgage oversight initiatives. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on digital infrastructure modernization, data-driven program integrity, and technical consulting services, ensuring alignment with HUD’s strategic goals of equitable housing access and operational efficiency. Her acquisitions are predominantly performance-based, emphasizing outcome-driven deliverables in compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific compliance frameworks. Perez maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including SELENE FINANCE LP, CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES LLC, BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON (THE), PERATON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS LLC, and INFORMATION SYSTEMS & NETWORKS CORPORATION. These partnerships are primarily for integrated digital platforms, mortgage data analytics, and system modernization efforts. Her contracting approach favors established vendors with proven experience in federal housing systems, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and blanket purchase agreements to streamline procurement cycles and ensure continuity of critical services. Perez’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and scalability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission readiness and system interoperability above small business set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR requirements for fair and transparent competition. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 519290, reflecting deep expertise in web-based information services, including housing data portals and digital customer engagement platforms. She also routinely procures specialized accounting and administrative management consulting services under NAICS 541219 and 541611, demonstrating a technical command of financial systems integration and operational process optimization within federally regulated housing programs.
