Maureen Musilli

Maureen Musilli serves as a Contracting Officer within the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing equitable housing access through strategic procurement of professional services. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for contracts that support housing program integrity, regulatory compliance, and data-driven policy analysis, with a focus on underwriting frameworks, housing insecurity research, and administrative modernization. Her acquisitions typically involve specialized technical services requiring deep domain expertise in real estate, title operations, and housing policy, ensuring alignment with HUD’s mission to promote safe, affordable housing and inclusive communities. Musilli cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of professional service providers, including title abstract and settlement firms, real estate appraisers, and technical consultants supporting housing data systems. She engages primarily with small and mid-sized firms capable of delivering high-integrity, compliance-driven services, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and performance accountability. Her contracting approach emphasizes clear solicitation language, rigorous evaluation criteria, and consistent post-award oversight to ensure contractor adherence to federal standards and program objectives. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Musilli consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 70% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides and aligns with HUD’s broader commitment to inclusive economic opportunity. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand access for underserved entrepreneurs while maintaining rigorous standards for service quality and mission alignment. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541191 (Title Abstract and Settlement Offices), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 531320 (Real Estate Appraisers), reflecting deep expertise in housing transaction support, compliance auditing, and property valuation services. She also procures related technical services in real estate leasing and security operations to ensure safe, well-managed housing environments. Musilli’s work directly enables HUD’s operational effectiveness through targeted, mission-critical acquisitions grounded in regulatory rigor and equitable access.
