Sonja Scott

Sonja Scott serves as a key procurement professional within the Program Support Center Acquisition Management Service, supporting the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration in advancing the Department of Health and Human Services’ public health mission. She manages complex acquisitions for specialized administrative and operational support services critical to biomedical research and health infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily encompasses management consulting, emergency relief services, and technical support solutions that enable efficient agency operations and mission-critical program delivery. Scott’s work ensures timely procurement of high-value, non-clinical services that underpin the scientific and administrative backbone of federal health initiatives. She maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors including Science Applications International Corporation and SARA Software Systems LLC, both of which provide advanced administrative systems, data management tools, and operational consulting services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors capable of delivering scalable, compliant solutions across federal environments. Scott’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous solicitation design, and contract administration aligned with FAR and agency-specific compliance standards. Scott’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization, consistent with the agency’s need for specialized, non-commoditized services. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all awards adhere to federal transparency and competition requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 624230 (Emergency and Other Relief Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting expertise in crisis response coordination, operational efficiency consulting, and process optimization for large-scale federal programs. She routinely acquires enterprise-level administrative systems, workflow automation tools, and strategic planning services essential to sustaining the public health infrastructure.
