Sak Nimmo

Sak Nimmo serves as a key procurement professional within the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of professional and technical services, Nimmo ensures alignment with federal procurement regulations and the agency’s mission to advance program integrity and operational excellence. Their work primarily focuses on securing administrative management and general management consulting services to support the design, implementation, and optimization of federal health program infrastructure, with an emphasis on data-driven decision-making and cybersecurity compliance. Nimmo collaborates with a broad network of qualified vendors, predominantly small businesses, to deliver high-impact consulting solutions that enhance agency efficiency and policy execution. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, the contracting pattern reflects a consistent preference for agile, mission-aligned service providers capable of delivering strategic advisory services in complex regulatory environments. Relationships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition standards. A defining feature of Nimmo’s procurement strategy is a 100% set-aside preference for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic equity and small business development. All acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small business concerns, with no preference for specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—instead, the focus is on broad-based small business participation to foster innovation and competition across the marketplace. The primary NAICS classification for all procurements is 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, indicating a specialized focus on strategic planning, process improvement, governance support, and operational consulting tailored to federal health programs. Nimmo’s expertise lies in procuring services that strengthen institutional capacity, streamline workflows, and ensure compliance with evolving health policy frameworks, particularly in areas requiring deep knowledge of Medicare, Medicaid, and program integrity systems.
