Magdalena Bernard supports the Internal Revenue Service’s mission to modernize federal tax administration through strategic procurement of information technology services. While her official title is not listed, her procurement activities center on securing critical IT solutions that enhance digital service delivery, cybersecurity, and data management systems. She routinely manages acquisitions under the Other Computer Related Services NAICS code, ensuring the IRS maintains robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure to support taxpayer portals, backend tax processing systems, and cloud-based modernization initiatives. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in digital transformation and operational integrity. Bernard engages with a broad spectrum of technology vendors specializing in enterprise software, systems integration, and managed IT services. Though no specific contractor relationships are identified, her procurement patterns suggest consistent collaboration with firms capable of delivering complex, compliance-driven IT solutions aligned with federal cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and FISMA. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, service-level agreements, and agile delivery methodologies to meet evolving IRS operational demands. Her procurement profile shows a 100% preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors with proven expertise in high-stakes government IT environments, rather than reserving awards for specific categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms. Bernard’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519—Other Computer Related Services—encompassing custom software development, systems consulting, data analytics, cybersecurity operations, and cloud migration services. She consistently seeks vendors with deep expertise in federal tax system modernization, identity and access management, and secure data interoperability, ensuring the IRS’s technological foundations remain resilient, scalable, and taxpayer-centric.
