Tonisha Tripp

Tonisha Tripp serves as a key procurement lead within the Office of the Secretary at the Department of Commerce’s SSSPO, supporting the agency’s mission to advance data-driven governance and modernize federal commerce operations through expert professional services. She manages the acquisition of high-impact market research, public opinion polling, and analytical services critical to shaping national economic policy and enhancing public engagement. Her work centers on securing specialized consulting and technical support to inform strategic decision-making, with a focus on delivering actionable insights through rigorous data collection and analysis methodologies. Tripp oversees full lifecycle contracting processes, from requirements development to contract closeout, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency-wide modernization goals. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored by CACI, INC. - FEDERAL, a trusted provider of analytical and operational support services to federal agencies. Tripp consistently engages CACI for complex, mission-critical projects requiring advanced data analytics, survey design, and policy modeling capabilities. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, large-capacity contractors with proven experience in federal market research and digital infrastructure modernization, indicating a focus on scalability, compliance, and technical depth over fragmented vendor networks. Tripp’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing capability and performance over vendor classification. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her awards, the agency’s broader mission still supports inclusive contracting through other channels. Her technical domain centers on professional services related to economic research, survey methodology, and data analytics. Though NAICS codes are not currently available, her acquisitions align with services in market research, statistical analysis, and policy evaluation—domains requiring advanced qualitative and quantitative research capabilities, survey instrument development, and secure data handling protocols.
