Cassandra F Hannah-Boyd

Cassandra F. Boyd serves as a Contracting Officer within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, FAS AAS Region 5, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing federal mission readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical information technology and communications systems. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements for integrated IT operations, systems design, and command and control infrastructure, ensuring alignment with GSA’s strategic priorities in modernizing government-wide technical capabilities. Her portfolio emphasizes high-stakes, performance-based contracts that support national security and operational continuity across federal agencies. Boyd cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, primarily engaging firms specializing in custom software development, systems integration, and technical consulting services. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently works with mid-tier and large IT service providers capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes competition, transparency, and rigorous performance metrics, fostering partnerships grounded in compliance, innovation, and mission alignment. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 95.7% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she maintains a targeted commitment to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), accounting for 4.3% of her awards, demonstrating a deliberate but measured effort to support veteran-owned enterprises within a predominantly unrestricted procurement environment. Boyd’s primary NAICS focus areas include Other Computer Related Services (541519), Convention and Trade Show Organizers (561920), and Administrative Management Consulting (541611), with additional activity in Custom Computer Programming (541511) and Computer Systems Design Services (541512). She specializes in procuring technical services that support digital transformation, data infrastructure, and operational communications—particularly in environments requiring high reliability, cybersecurity compliance, and systems interoperability. Her expertise lies at the intersection of IT modernization and mission-critical systems acquisition.
