Tricia Dunchak

Tricia Dunchak serves as a key procurement professional within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), supporting the agency’s mission to ensure the integrity and accessibility of health insurance markets under the Affordable Care Act. She manages acquisitions focused on administrative and management consulting services critical to operationalizing federal health exchanges, enforcing insurance market reforms, and validating consumer protection mechanisms. Her work directly enables CCIIO’s strategic objectives through the procurement of expert advisory services that inform policy implementation, data governance, and system compliance. Dunchak collaborates with a broad spectrum of federal contractors specializing in public sector consulting, particularly firms with deep expertise in health policy, regulatory compliance, and exchange operations. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering high-level strategic analysis, process optimization, and technical assistance to federal programs. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on outcome-driven, performance-based contracting methods that prioritize measurable results in system integrity and consumer transparency. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate alignment with CCIIO’s mandate for broad, transparent access to qualified vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical consulting services at scale. There is no preferential treatment for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a procurement strategy grounded in technical capability rather than socioeconomic targeting. Dunchak’s procurement focus is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. She procures high-value advisory services including policy implementation support, regulatory compliance assessments, operational workflow design, and data-driven decision-making frameworks essential to sustaining federally facilitated health insurance marketplaces. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of healthcare regulation, federal program management, and systems-level consulting.
