Corey Runge

Corey Runge serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions within the information services sector, with a singular focus on NAICS 511210—Software Publishers. His role centers on the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for proprietary software solutions, content delivery platforms, and digital media distribution systems. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with agency mission needs, typically handling complex, performance-based contracts for custom software development, licensing, and cloud-enabled content services. His work directly supports the agency’s digital transformation initiatives through strategic sourcing of innovative software capabilities. Corey maintains a broad and diverse contractor network, engaging with both large-scale software vendors and niche technology providers specializing in proprietary applications. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry players with proven track records in secure, scalable software delivery. He routinely evaluates proposals based on technical merit, cybersecurity posture, and interoperability standards, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of meeting rigorous federal compliance requirements. Corey’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and market readiness over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on outcome-driven procurement rather than socioeconomic targeting. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach ensures competitive fairness and broad market access, consistent with agency mandates for efficiency and performance. His primary expertise lies in NAICS 511210, where he procures commercial-off-the-shelf and custom-developed software products, including enterprise content management systems, data analytics platforms, and digital publishing tools. He possesses deep familiarity with software licensing models, intellectual property clauses, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) procurement frameworks, making him a key resource for acquisitions requiring technical precision and vendor accountability in the software publishing domain.
