Aaron J. Burt

Aaron Burt serves as a Contracts Specialist at the Securities and Exchange Commission, where he plays a critical role in executing acquisitions that support the agency’s mission of market integrity and investor protection. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for advanced data analytics, financial surveillance systems, and cybersecurity-enabled platforms essential to regulatory oversight. His portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, including cloud-based data aggregation, algorithmic trading monitoring, and AI-driven anomaly detection tools. Burt ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract vehicles with the SEC’s strategic modernization goals for market surveillance infrastructure. Burt maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with leading federal IT and consulting firms, including General Dynamics Information Technology, Booz Allen Hamilton, Maximus Federal Consulting, Team GreenZone JV, and Procentrix, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, often supporting mission-critical systems requiring high assurance, scalability, and real-time data processing. His procurement approach emphasizes technical excellence, vendor performance accountability, and seamless integration with legacy regulatory systems. Burt’s contracting activity reflects a singular focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This reflects the SEC’s operational imperative to access specialized, large-scale technical capabilities unavailable within the small business base, prioritizing capability and continuity over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, all procurements adhere strictly to fair and transparent competition standards. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 519130—Other Information Services—which encompasses custom software development, data analytics platforms, and intelligence support services for financial market monitoring. He specializes in acquiring mission-specific solutions that enable real-time fraud detection, market pattern analysis, and regulatory reporting automation, requiring deep domain expertise in securities law, data architecture, and cybersecurity compliance.
