She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and digital service delivery, ensuring alignment with federal requirements for efficiency, integrity, and taxpayer trust. Her work centers on acquiring mission-critical systems that enhance taxpayer portals, data processing capabilities, and backend computing environments, often coordinating across multiple technical and operational stakeholders to meet IRS’s evolving digital transformation goals. Wingrove maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD International Technologies LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized computing and systems integration services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor partnerships, favoring contractors with proven expertise in federal IT environments. She engages with vendors who can support scalable, secure, and compliant solutions, often requiring adherence to NIST standards and FedRAMP authorization frameworks. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with 25% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions are open competition, she actively encourages participation from small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms where eligible, aligning with Treasury’s broader equity and inclusion objectives.
