Frederick Freeman

Frederick Freeman serves as a key procurement lead within the OCP-POD-Acq-Mgmt-Branch-FTC of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Chief Financial Officer, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical digital infrastructure and technical services to support data-driven agricultural policy execution. His portfolio centers on securing computing infrastructure, software solutions, and IT consulting services that enhance the agency’s operational resilience and cybersecurity posture. He routinely oversees complex procurements under FAR Part 15, prioritizing performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements to ensure alignment with modernization goals for federal information systems. Freeman maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including ALPHA OMEGA INTEGRATION LLC and SAMYAK SOLUTIONS, INC., both of which provide advanced data processing and cloud-enabled services. He also engages MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for specialized infrastructure support tied to physical IT environments. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and compliant technical solutions, often through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. His contracting approach demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 84.6% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a deliberate 15.4% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic commitment to fostering competition while ensuring small businesses have meaningful access to high-value IT and infrastructure opportunities. Freeman’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 518210, encompassing data hosting, cloud services, and computing infrastructure, with secondary emphasis on industrial construction (236210) and technical consulting (541519). His expertise spans the acquisition of secure data centers, cybersecurity-enabled platforms, and integrated IT support systems critical to sustaining the USDA’s digital mission architecture.
