Nancy Rios-Brooks

Nancy Rios-Brooks serves as an A/GSO (Acting/General Services Officer) responsible for managing federal acquisitions within the health insurance sector, ensuring compliance with statutory procurement frameworks and efficient execution of mission-critical contracts. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from requirements definition and market research to award and performance monitoring—focusing primarily on direct health and medical insurance carrier services. Her work supports the agency’s broader objective of securing high-quality, cost-effective health coverage solutions while upholding transparency, competition, and regulatory integrity in all acquisition activities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Rios-Brooks engages with a broad spectrum of qualified health insurance carriers and third-party administrators that meet federal eligibility and performance standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive solicitation under full and open competition, fostering a level playing field among industry participants with proven capacity to deliver complex health benefit administration services. She maintains rigorous oversight of contractor performance and compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions. Rios-Brooks consistently prioritizes full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and selecting the most capable providers based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic classifications. While she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains aligned with federal small business goals through inclusive market research and open solicitation practices. Her procurement expertise is concentrated in NAICS 524114, encompassing direct health and medical insurance carriers that provide comprehensive managed care, provider network management, claims adjudication, and member services. She specializes in acquiring risk-bearing health plans, administrative services only (ASO) contracts, and related health information technology integrations essential to public health program delivery.
