Gregory Ruderman

Gregory Ruderman serves as a key procurement professional within the Office of Procurement Operations at the Information Technology Acquisition Center (70RTAC), where he plays a central role in advancing the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to modernize critical cybersecurity and IT infrastructure. He manages the acquisition of advanced technical services essential to securing federal networks, enhancing cloud-based platforms, and supporting mission-critical data operations. His portfolio primarily focuses on complex, performance-based contracts for IT modernization, cybersecurity risk management, and systems integration, ensuring alignment with federal standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC frameworks. Ruderman’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in building resilient digital ecosystems across protective and intelligence operations. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Ruderman maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in cybersecurity consulting, managed detection and response, and custom software development. He engages both large systems integrators and niche technology providers with proven expertise in federal compliance and secure cloud migration. His procurement approach emphasizes performance metrics, continuous monitoring, and vendor accountability under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical excellence and regulatory adherence. Ruderman demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, particularly in IT services and technical consulting, aligning with agency goals to expand vendor diversity and foster innovation through emerging firms. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—favoring open competition while intentionally reserving opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to national security missions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing cloud migration, network security, and IT operations support, with additional activity in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), including risk assessment and compliance advisory work. Ruderman’s expertise centers on procuring tailored, non-commodity IT solutions that address evolving cyber threats and support the DHS’s digital transformation agenda.
