Darryl Briscoe serves as a Planner within the Enterprise Solutions - HGACBuy/Cooperative Purchasing Program, where he plays a pivotal role in designing and managing procurement strategies for regional public entities across Texas. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor capabilities, and ensuring compliance with state and federal acquisition regulations. As a primary contact for cooperative purchasing initiatives, Briscoe enables local governments and public agencies to leverage pre-vetted contracts for technology infrastructure, reducing duplication of effort and accelerating acquisition timelines. He specializes in procurements for computing infrastructure, data processing, and web hosting services, ensuring that regional partners gain secure, scalable, and cost-effective access to mission-critical IT systems. Briscoe collaborates with a broad range of technology service providers, including cloud infrastructure vendors, data center operators, and managed IT service firms. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with vendors that hold relevant ITIL, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP certifications, emphasizing security, scalability, and interoperability. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on long-term vendor performance, contract compliance, and service-level agreement adherence, fostering reliable partnerships that support continuous operational needs across multiple jurisdictions. Briscoe’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under general competition criteria. This approach prioritizes technical merit, value, and compliance over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the program’s mission to maximize efficiency and transparency for all participating entities. While small business participation is not formally targeted, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on equal footing based on capability and responsiveness. His primary focus lies in NAICS 518210, where he procures computing infrastructure services including cloud hosting, data center colocation, network management, and secure data processing solutions. Briscoe’s expertise centers on modern IT service delivery models, with deep familiarity in hybrid cloud architectures, cybersecurity-compliant hosting environments, and automated provisioning systems essential to public sector digital transformation.
