Rosa Wilson

Rosa Wilson serves as Senior IT Contract Administrator for the Information Technology Department of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, where she leads the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical technology systems that support water and wastewater infrastructure operations. Responsible for planning, soliciting, evaluating, and administering IT contracts, she ensures compliance with federal and state procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic goals of digital modernization, cybersecurity resilience, and operational continuity. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex IT services requiring technical rigor, including systems integration, cloud migration, and network modernization initiatives. Rosa cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of IT service providers, predominantly engaging firms specializing in computer systems design and enterprise infrastructure solutions. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently works with vendors possessing demonstrated expertise in public-sector IT delivery, including those with experience in utility-sector compliance and NIST-aligned security frameworks. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor performance, past performance evaluations, and technical capability over price alone, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in accountability and innovation. Rosa’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under no set-aside status. This indicates a focus on technical merit and market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes capability and mission fit over socioeconomic categorization, ensuring the agency secures the most qualified providers for its high-stakes digital infrastructure needs. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 541512—Computer Systems Design Services—where she specializes in procuring custom software development, systems architecture, cybersecurity implementation, and IT modernization services. She frequently engages vendors with expertise in SCADA integration, data center operations, and water utility-specific enterprise platforms, ensuring technical alignment with the agency’s operational environment and regulatory obligations.
