Traci Marshall

Traci Marshall serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s office identified by code 866146, where she manages strategic acquisitions aligned with housing policy research, regulatory compliance, and data-driven analytical services. Her role centers on executing contract actions that support the agency’s mission to modernize housing assessment methodologies and strengthen legislative decision-making through expert consulting. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for social advocacy and policy analysis services, ensuring alignment with federal standards for evidence-based housing interventions. Marshall maintains a consistent working relationship with MALMAR LLC, the primary contractor supporting her portfolio. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established partners with demonstrated expertise in housing policy research, community impact analysis, and regulatory compliance consulting. She engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and deliverables tied to measurable policy objectives. Marshall’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize technical capability and institutional expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s need for high-caliber analytical services that require specialized knowledge in housing economics and federal regulatory frameworks. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 813319, Other Social Advocacy Organizations, which encompasses policy research firms, think tanks, and advocacy organizations engaged in housing insecurity analysis, legislative impact assessments, and public housing program evaluation. She procures services including data modeling, stakeholder engagement studies, and compliance audits—domain-specific expertise critical to advancing HUD’s mission of equitable, data-informed housing policy development.
