Wilson Trahan

Wilson Trahan serves as a Senior IT Project Manager within the Department of Commerce’s Strategic Systems and Policy Office (SSPO), where he leads the planning, execution, and oversight of mission-critical IT modernization initiatives. His role centers on translating policy objectives into technically sound procurement strategies, ensuring that acquired services align with federal data governance standards and digital infrastructure modernization goals. Trahan routinely manages complex acquisitions for professional IT services, particularly those supporting advanced analytics, public opinion research platforms, and secure digital engagement systems. He acts as a key liaison between technical teams, policy stakeholders, and external vendors to ensure deliverables meet stringent performance, security, and compliance requirements. Trahan maintains a longstanding working relationship with CACI, INC. - FEDERAL, a primary contractor for high-integrity IT services supporting the agency’s data-driven decision-making missions. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a focus on firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and agile solutions in cloud-enabled environments. He collaborates closely with vendors to ensure adherence to FedRAMP, NIST, and FISMA standards, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical reliability and mission alignment rather than transactional engagements. Trahan’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible talent pool to meet complex, high-stakes technical requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, he ensures all procurements comply with FAR Part 19 guidelines and maintain transparency in vendor selection. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing advanced data analytics, custom software development, digital survey platforms, and cybersecurity-integrated research systems. Trahan specializes in acquiring services that support large-scale public opinion polling, economic modeling, and real-time data visualization tools critical to informing national economic policy. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of federal IT modernization, behavioral data collection, and secure cloud-based analytics infrastructure.
