Victoria Nguyen

Victoria Nguyen serves as a secondary procurement professional within the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, supporting the Department of Health and Human Services’ mission to ensure secure, efficient, and data-driven administration of federal health programs. While not the primary contracting officer, she provides critical support in the execution of technical acquisitions, contributing to the lifecycle management of contracts for professional services that enable policy implementation, program integrity, and operational excellence. Her work typically involves supporting the procurement of specialized IT and analytical services aligned with cybersecurity, data analytics, and system modernization initiatives critical to CMS operations. Her contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with a broad base of technical service providers, particularly those offering scientific and technical consulting, computer systems design, and software publishing capabilities. She collaborates closely with prime contractors and subcontractors delivering cloud-enabled solutions, health data interoperability tools, and compliance-focused software platforms, often working in coordination with primary contracting officers to ensure alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific technical requirements. Nguyen’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her supported acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, though she remains attentive to small business participation where it aligns with performance needs. Her approach prioritizes competitive fairness and value-driven outcomes over mandated set-asides. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), 513210 (Software Publishers), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting deep engagement with health IT modernization, data governance systems, and analytical platforms that support Medicare and Medicaid program integrity. She routinely supports the acquisition of secure, scalable software solutions and systems engineering services tailored to federal health program requirements.
