Virgil Rogers

Virgil Rogers serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that advance equitable housing access and regulatory compliance. He manages the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and HUD’s strategic priorities in housing program integrity, data-driven policy analysis, and administrative modernization. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex, performance-based contracts for consulting, real estate support, and technical services that directly inform housing policy and operational efficiency. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Rogers maintains a consistent pattern of engaging both large professional services firms and small business vendors through competed solicitations. His working relationships reflect a balanced approach—favoring open competition while actively incorporating socioeconomic set-asides to foster vendor diversity. He routinely collaborates with firms capable of delivering specialized expertise in housing underwriting, compliance auditing, and systems modernization, ensuring that procurement outcomes align with mission-critical objectives. Rogers demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 28.6% of his acquisitions structured as either Total Small Business Set-Asides or 8(a) competed awards. His procurement strategy prioritizes equitable opportunity, consistently leveraging FAR 19.5 and 8(a) programs to expand participation by small disadvantaged businesses. This reflects a deliberate effort to strengthen the pipeline of qualified vendors capable of supporting HUD’s community development goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate) and NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in administrative management consulting (NAICS 541611). He specializes in acquiring services related to housing data analytics, regulatory compliance frameworks, and operational process improvement—ensuring HUD’s systems remain adaptive, transparent, and responsive to evolving housing needs.
