Liliana Roman

Liliana Roman serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver rapid, field-deployable technological superiority to elite special operations forces. She manages acquisitions centered on advanced computing infrastructure, data processing systems, and secure web-hosting platforms that enable real-time tactical communications and mission-critical data analytics. Her work directly supports USSOCOM’s emphasis on agile development, rapid prototyping, and secure cloud-enabled operations, ensuring that special operations units receive resilient, low-latency digital capabilities in austere environments. Roman’s procurement activities are tightly aligned with the command’s need for secure, scalable, and expeditionary IT architectures that meet stringent DoD cybersecurity standards. Roman’s contracting patterns reflect a reliance on a broad spectrum of qualified IT service providers, particularly those with proven expertise in secure cloud environments, edge computing, and mission-specific data infrastructure. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with vendors capable of delivering classified, FedRAMP-authorized, and CJIS-compliant solutions. Her approach favors vendors with demonstrated experience in rapid integration, modular system design, and support for special operations’ unique operational tempo and interoperability requirements. Roman’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects USSOCOM’s operational urgency and the specialized nature of the required capabilities, which often demand technical depth beyond the capacity of small business pools. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, her process remains fully compliant with federal procurement regulations and prioritizes technical merit, performance history, and cybersecurity readiness over socioeconomic classifications. Her primary focus is NAICS 518210, encompassing computing infrastructure, data center services, and secure web hosting. She procures mission-critical systems including secure cloud platforms, encrypted data pipelines, real-time sensor data processors, and expeditionary computing nodes designed for deployment in denied or contested environments. Her expertise lies at the intersection of national security requirements and next-generation IT infrastructure, ensuring that special operations forces maintain technological dominance through resilient, adaptive digital ecosystems.
