Agnieszka Rysz

Agnes Rysz serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in support of federal information technology and professional services. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, conducting market research, and overseeing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration. Her portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in software development, data analytics, and digital transformation initiatives, often involving performance-based acquisition strategies and statement of work-driven requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly identifiable in available data, Agnes routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering competitive bidding environments and promoting transparency in source selection. Her approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a strong focus on evaluating technical capability, past performance, and compliance with socioeconomic requirements. Agnes demonstrates a clear preference for unrestricted competition, with 91.7% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category, reflecting a strategic emphasis on broad market access. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently awarding 8.3% of her contracts as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, aligning with federal goals to increase economic opportunity for small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), which constitutes 40% of her activity, alongside significant engagement in information services (511210), web portals and internet publishing (519130), and other information services (519190). This specialization reflects deep expertise in procuring IT consulting, cloud-enabled solutions, digital content platforms, and emerging technology services critical to modernizing federal operations.
