Miriam Lemus

Miriam Lemus serves as a procurement professional within the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where she supports the strategic acquisition of professional and technical services critical to modernizing Medicare and Medicaid operations. Her work centers on securing consulting expertise that enhances program efficiency, improves beneficiary experience, and strengthens system security through digital transformation and data-driven solutions. She primarily manages solicitations and contract actions under human resources consulting services, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency priorities in workforce optimization and operational excellence. Lemus maintains a consistent working relationship with Rocket Media Group, LLC, as the primary contractor for HR consulting services. Her procurement pattern reflects a reliance on established vendor partnerships with demonstrated capacity in talent management, organizational development, and workforce analytics. These engagements are typically awarded through competitive sealed bidding or simplified acquisition procedures, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and measurable service delivery metrics. Her approach prioritizes vendor reliability, compliance, and alignment with CMS’s mission-critical objectives. Lemus’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not a primary driver in her acquisition strategy, her awards remain fully compliant with federal contracting rules and are structured to ensure maximum value and technical capability from qualified vendors. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 541612, Human Resources Consulting Services, where she procures specialized expertise in workforce planning, change management, training design, and HR system implementation. She supports CMS’s operational modernization through targeted engagements that enhance internal capacity, streamline personnel processes, and integrate HR technology platforms to support large-scale federal program administration.
