Sabrina M. Thompson

Sabrina Thompson serves as a key procurement lead within the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where she oversees the acquisition of professional and technical services critical to modernizing Medicare and Medicaid systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance program efficiency, beneficiary experience, and cybersecurity through strategic sourcing of digital transformation, data analytics, and systems integration services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, primarily focused on IT modernization, system optimization, and operational support, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with strategic agency priorities. Thompson maintains a consistent working relationship with ROCKET MEDIA GROUP, LLC, a primary contractor delivering technical and digital services aligned with CMS’s modernization goals. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in federal IT environments, fostering long-term partnerships that ensure continuity, scalability, and mission alignment. While she engages primarily with large-capability firms, her approach integrates rigorous performance metrics and contract management practices to ensure accountability and outcomes-driven delivery. Her set-aside preferences show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 92.9% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 7.1% are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate focus on capability and mission fit over socioeconomic categorization, while still maintaining compliance with small business participation goals where appropriate. Thompson’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in computer systems design services (NAICS 541512), followed by other computer-related services (541519), with supplementary activity in custom programming (541511) and human resources consulting (541612). She specializes in acquiring enterprise-level IT solutions, cloud infrastructure support, systems integration, and data governance services essential to sustaining and evolving the nation’s largest health insurance programs.
