Katherine Vultaggio

Katherine Vultaggio serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Commerce’s SSSPO, supporting the Office of the Secretary in securing expert professional services that advance data-driven governance and economic policy analysis. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on market research, public opinion polling, digital infrastructure modernization, and strategic consulting services essential to informing national economic strategies. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with the agency’s mission to enhance operational efficiency and public engagement through evidence-based decision-making. She routinely handles complex, high-impact service contracts requiring specialized technical and analytical capabilities. Vultaggio maintains a primary working relationship with CACI, INC. - FEDERAL, a trusted provider of mission-critical analytical and technical services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established federal contractors with proven expertise in policy research, data analytics, and digital transformation. While she collaborates with a limited pool of high-performing vendors, her approach emphasizes performance reliability, subject-matter expertise, and seamless integration with federal systems, fostering long-term, performance-based partnerships rather than transactional engagements. Vultaggio’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the agency’s need for specialized, large-scale professional services that require deep federal experience and scalable infrastructure. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing data analytics, survey methodology, and digital platform development. She also frequently procures engineering services (541330), administrative management consulting (541611), and convention and trade show organizing services (561920), indicating a broad operational need for integrated technical, analytical, and event-based support to execute high-visibility commerce initiatives. Her domain expertise spans public opinion research, economic modeling, and federal digital modernization.
