Lauren Bradley

Lauren Bradley supports the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services by managing strategic procurements that advance the modernization of Medicare and Medicaid programs. She specializes in acquiring professional and technical services critical to digital transformation, data analytics, and beneficiary experience enhancement. Her work centers on securing consulting, software development, and communications services that align with the agency’s mission to improve program integrity, operational efficiency, and cybersecurity. Bradley routinely handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, emphasizing performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables to ensure alignment with federal health IT modernization goals. She maintains a consistent working relationship with Rocket Media Group, LLC, a key vendor providing integrated advertising and digital engagement services. Her procurement patterns reflect collaboration with a mix of large and small businesses, with an emphasis on agile, mission-aligned partners capable of delivering rapid-cycle solutions in digital media, custom software, and systems design. Bradley fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, innovation, and measurable performance outcomes, ensuring contractor accountability across the acquisition lifecycle. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with approximately two-thirds of awards issued under full and open competition and one-third structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced strategy reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising technical capability or mission outcomes. She does not favor specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, instead focusing on competitive small business participation across diverse sectors. Bradley’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541810 (Advertising Agencies), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting her expertise in digital communications, software development, and enterprise systems integration. She consistently acquires services supporting user-centered design, data visualization, and secure health information platforms, ensuring technical solutions directly enhance program delivery and beneficiary engagement.
