Ms. RoShawn Washington

Ms. RoShawn Washington serves as the primary procurement lead for the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), overseeing the acquisition of behavioral health and community-based supervision services critical to the agency’s mission of reducing recidivism through evidence-based interventions. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts aligned with mental health and substance use disorder treatment, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and agency strategic priorities. Her acquisitions focus on non-physician outpatient behavioral health services, including counseling, case management, and residential reintegration programs, all designed to support the successful reentry of individuals under court supervision in the District of Columbia. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Ms. Washington consistently engages with a network of qualified behavioral health providers, including community-based organizations, nonprofit service agencies, and licensed mental health practitioners. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering trauma-informed, culturally competent care within structured supervision frameworks. She prioritizes vendors with demonstrated capacity in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and integrated treatment models for co-occurring disorders. Ms. Washington maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic inclusion in CSOSA’s contracting strategy. All procurements are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with a strong emphasis on supporting disadvantaged, minority-owned, and locally based service providers. This pattern underscores her dedication to building a supplier base that reflects the diversity of the communities served and promotes economic opportunity as a pillar of public safety. Her procurement focus is singularly centered on NAICS 621330—Offices of Mental Health Practitioners (except Physicians)—encompassing outpatient mental health counseling, substance use disorder treatment, and related support services. She specializes in acquiring clinical and non-clinical behavioral health interventions delivered by licensed counselors, social workers, and peer support specialists, ensuring alignment with best practices in offender rehabilitation and public health.
