Zemirah Courtney

Zemirah Courtney supports the IT Program Support Division within the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Information Technology, playing a pivotal role in advancing digital modernization initiatives critical to HUD’s housing assistance and financial compliance programs. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical IT services, including custom software development, data analytics platforms, and system integration efforts that enhance loan servicing, housing counseling, and program oversight. Her procurement activities are strategically aligned with HUD’s goal of enabling data-driven decision-making through scalable, secure, and interoperable digital infrastructure, ensuring that technology investments directly support equitable housing outcomes. Courtney maintains a consistent working relationship with CORELOGIC SOLUTIONS, LLC, a key contractor providing specialized data management and analytical solutions tailored to housing finance systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes, with a preference for contractors capable of delivering agile, cloud-enabled platforms that integrate with legacy HUD systems. She engages with both large-scale IT service providers and niche technology firms to ensure technical innovation meets regulatory and operational requirements. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition while actively expanding opportunities for small businesses to contribute to HUD’s digital transformation. Courtney’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting her specialization in end-to-end IT service delivery and process optimization. She routinely acquires services including systems analysis, workflow automation, user experience design, and program management support, all aimed at modernizing HUD’s housing program delivery systems through technical and operational excellence.
