Rovella Malasa

Rovella Malasa serves as a key procurement lead within Operation Services, a mission-critical unit of the Internal Revenue Service under the Department of the Treasury. Responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized technical and consulting services, Malasa ensures alignment with the IRS’s strategic goals of operational modernization and compliance system enhancement. Their portfolio centers on high-impact, non-manufacturing contracts that support digital infrastructure upgrades, process optimization, and analytical service delivery. Malasa routinely oversees full-and-open and set-aside acquisitions under FAR Part 19, prioritizing outcomes that advance tax administration efficiency through innovative, agile contracting approaches. Malasa maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading providers of tax and regulatory intelligence and legal research services, including WEST PUBLISHING CORPORATION and BLOOMBERG INDUSTRY GROUP, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep domain expertise in federal tax law, compliance analytics, and legislative tracking systems. The contracting pattern emphasizes performance-based, outcome-driven agreements that require subject-matter expertise over commodity procurement, with a focus on contract vehicles that enable rapid scalability and continuous service delivery. Malasa demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of eligible acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base capable of delivering high-quality technical consulting services, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while strengthening the agency’s innovation pipeline through agile, mission-aligned small businesses. The primary procurement focus is NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—encompassing management consulting, process reengineering, and custom analytical support for tax compliance systems. Malasa’s expertise lies in acquiring specialized advisory services that integrate regulatory knowledge with operational technology, including workflow automation, data governance frameworks, and digital transformation initiatives tailored to federal tax administration needs.
