Wayne A. Sok

Wayne A. Sok serves as a Contract Specialist within the Mitigation SECTION (MIT60) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that advance national resilience and disaster risk reduction. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical and operational services critical to the National Flood Insurance Program, including data analytics, risk modeling, and community preparedness systems. His work directly supports FEMA’s mission to enhance catastrophe preparedness through evidence-based planning and sustainable program infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned procurement objectives. Wayne collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in computer systems design and contact center operations, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and data-integrated solutions. While no specific vendor relationships are currently identified, his procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with vendors possessing expertise in geospatial analysis, actuarial modeling, and customer service platforms supporting high-volume public inquiries. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting and outcomes-driven service delivery. Wayne’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. This indicates a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, though it does not preclude participation by small businesses that meet technical requirements. His approach prioritizes capability and compliance over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the technical complexity and mission-critical nature of mitigation programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 561422 (Telemarketing Bureaus and Other Contact Centers), underscoring his specialization in procuring IT systems for risk assessment and public-facing customer support infrastructure. He routinely acquires services involving data visualization, automated claims processing, and scalable call center technologies essential to the operational integrity of federal mitigation initiatives.
