Lauren Gueye

Lauren Gueye supports the Office of the Secretary within the Department of Commerce’s SSSPO by managing strategic procurement initiatives that advance data-driven governance and digital modernization. She oversees the acquisition of professional services critical to economic policy analysis, public opinion research, and IT infrastructure enhancement. Her portfolio centers on high-impact technical services that inform national economic strategies, with a focus on market research, analytical modeling, and digital platform development. Gueye ensures alignment between contracting actions and the agency’s mission to strengthen public engagement through evidence-based decision-making, routinely engaging with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored with CACI, INC. - FEDERAL, a trusted provider of advanced analytics and federal IT services. She cultivates long-term partnerships with firms skilled in custom software development, systems integration, and managed IT infrastructure, prioritizing vendors with proven experience in federal data environments. Gueye’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, leveraging task order mechanisms to ensure agile delivery of technical capabilities across dynamic policy needs. Set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued under full and open procedures. However, she actively supports socioeconomic diversity through targeted opportunities for Women-Owned Small Businesses, which account for 14.3% of her awards. While not heavily reliant on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to include diverse small businesses where capabilities align with mission requirements. Her procurement focus is concentrated in three NAICS categories: 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services). She consistently procures end-to-end technology solutions including data analytics platforms, cloud-enabled polling systems, and secure IT operations support, demonstrating deep expertise in federal IT modernization and public-sector digital transformation.
