Reagan Holmes

Reagan Holmes serves as a procurement professional within the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, supporting the Department of Health and Human Services’ mission to ensure secure, efficient, and data-driven administration of federal health programs. Responsible for managing competitive acquisitions across professional and technical services, Holmes oversees procurements aligned with policy implementation, program integrity, and operational excellence. Their portfolio primarily includes contracts for administrative management consulting, advertising and communications support, computer peripheral equipment, and specialized technical services critical to modernizing CMS infrastructure and ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity and privacy standards. Holmes maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across diverse market segments, engaging with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses to deliver high-quality, mission-critical solutions. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, the procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based outcomes, and vendor accountability under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines. Relationships are characterized by transparency, rigorous evaluation, and a focus on innovation in service delivery. Holmes consistently prioritizes full and open competition, with 100% of procurements classified as “No Set-Aside,” reflecting a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach aligns with agency-wide objectives to maximize value and efficiency while maintaining compliance with statutory procurement thresholds and fair opportunity requirements. The procurement focus is evenly distributed across four key NAICS categories: Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing (334118), Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (541611), Advertising Agencies (541810), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990). This reflects expertise in acquiring hardware for health data systems, strategic management advisory services, public outreach campaigns, and niche technical support essential to CMS’s digital transformation and beneficiary services modernization.
