Daniel F. DeWeerdt

Daniel F. DeWeerdt serves as a key procurement lead within the Information Technology Division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical digital infrastructure to support national security and immigration enforcement operations. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on modernizing case management systems, cyber defense platforms, and data analytics tools that enable real-time intelligence sharing and operational decision-making. His work ensures the agency’s technological capabilities remain agile, secure, and aligned with evolving enforcement priorities, with a strong emphasis on scalable, cloud-enabled computing environments and secure data processing solutions. DeWeerdt maintains consistent contracting relationships with BI2 TECHNOLOGIES, LLC and eClinicalWorks LLC, both of which provide specialized IT services tailored to high-assurance government environments. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven experience in federal compliance, secure software development lifecycles, and integrated data systems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance-based engagements, often involving iterative development, DevSecOps practices, and continuous monitoring frameworks to ensure system integrity and mission readiness. DeWeerdt’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and operational continuity over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing vendor expertise and system interoperability over certification-based preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his awards, the emphasis remains on mission-critical performance and risk mitigation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting deep expertise in cloud-hosted platforms, secure data processing, and enterprise software integration. He routinely acquires services related to infrastructure-as-a-service, application hosting, cybersecurity analytics, and custom software development for law enforcement and immigration case systems.
