Bryan S. McCreary

Bryan S. McCreary serves as a Contracting Officer within the Preparedness SECTION (PRE20) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing national resilience through strategic procurement of critical services. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for operational readiness initiatives, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while aligning contract awards with the agency’s mission to strengthen incident management frameworks and workforce capabilities. His portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts requiring technical expertise in security operations and emergency response consulting, with a focus on delivering timely, scalable solutions to support high-stakes federal preparedness activities. McCreary maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including established firms specializing in security guard and patrol services as well as niche technical consultants delivering incident planning, training, and systems integration support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work development, fostering partnerships grounded in accountability and mission alignment. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages both large-capacity providers and small business entities to ensure operational flexibility and innovation. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, McCreary exhibits a balanced yet deliberate preference for 8(a) competed set-asides, awarding approximately half of his contracts to certified small disadvantaged businesses. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underrepresented firms while maintaining competitive rigor. The remaining half of his awards are issued under open, no-set-aside solicitations, demonstrating his ability to balance equity goals with operational urgency. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting his expertise in securing frontline protective services and specialized advisory support for emergency management systems. He routinely procures personnel services, training programs, risk assessment tools, and operational planning consultations that directly enhance the readiness of first responders and federal coordination teams.
