Valerie R. Wilson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Social Security Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grants, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that support the agency’s operational infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—with a primary focus on professional and technical services essential to modernizing IT systems, securing digital platforms, and sustaining administrative operations. She specializes in complex, performance-based contracts for systems integration, software development, and cybersecurity support, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and SSA’s strategic imperatives for reliability and efficiency. Wilson maintains established working relationships with key contractors including CA, Inc. and COLORID, LLC, both of which provide specialized support services critical to SSA’s IT modernization and backend operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics, compliance, and service excellence, often resulting in task order-based agreements under blanket purchase agreements or IDIQ contracts. She consistently collaborates with contractors to ensure technical deliverables meet stringent federal standards for data integrity and system resilience. Wilson’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This pattern underscores a strategic emphasis on technical capability and value over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with SSA’s need for scalable, enterprise-grade support services from experienced providers. Her primary NAICS classification is 561990 (All Other Support Services), indicating a concentration on specialized administrative and technical support functions. She routinely procures services related to IT operations, systems maintenance, data management, and mission-critical consulting—domains requiring deep technical expertise and proven experience in federal government environments.
