William Waterhouse

William Waterhouse serves as the primary point of contact for the Technology Acquisition Center NJ (36C10B) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, facilitating the acquisition of mission-critical enterprise IT solutions that support clinical, administrative, and cybersecurity infrastructure across the VA network. He plays a central role in executing procurements aligned with the agency’s strategic modernization goals, managing complex contracts for software development, systems integration, and IT services that enhance veteran-facing digital services. His work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and VA’s digital transformation priorities. Waterhouse maintains consistent working relationships with key technology vendors including Palantir Technologies Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc., and ThunderCat Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in enterprise software modernization, data analytics platforms, and secure cloud-enabled systems. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical interoperability, and compliance with federal cybersecurity standards, fostering long-term collaborations that support scalable, mission-critical deployments. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted under open competition (78.8% no set-aside), Waterhouse demonstrates a meaningful commitment to socioeconomic programs, with a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides (12.1%) and a smaller but consistent allocation to total small business set-asides (3.0%). This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to integrate veteran-owned enterprises into the VA’s technology supply chain while maintaining operational readiness. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) at 62.5%, followed by software publishing (513210) and computer systems design (541512). He regularly acquires custom software development, systems integration, data management, and IT modernization services—domains critical to sustaining secure, interoperable digital infrastructure for veteran healthcare and benefits delivery.
