Jared Dwyer

Jared Dwyer serves as a Contract Officer within the Contracts Services office of the Library of Congress, where he manages the acquisition of critical information technology and media services that support the nation’s digital stewardship mission. He is responsible for end-to-end procurement of contracts enabling large-scale digitization, metadata management, and digital preservation of archival collections. His portfolio focuses on ensuring secure, scalable, and accessible technological infrastructure to support public access to cultural heritage materials. Dwyer routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions requiring technical expertise in digital systems, accessibility compliance, and media logistics. Dwyer maintains established relationships with a diverse set of contractors including the Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Accessibility Services Inc., and the University of Washington, reflecting a consistent preference for mission-aligned partners with specialized capabilities in accessibility, digital archiving, and cultural heritage technology. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in accessible media formats, assistive technologies, and institutional digital preservation standards. These partnerships are often structured as performance-based, task-order contracts designed to meet evolving technical and accessibility requirements. Dwyer’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his procurement strategy is grounded in technical merit, vendor capability, and mission alignment rather than socioeconomic criteria. His approach reflects a focus on acquiring high-quality, compliant services from the most qualified sources, regardless of business size or certification status. His primary NAICS focus areas include Engineering Services, Facilities Support Services, All Other Support Services, General Freight Trucking (Local), and Snack and Nonalcoholic Beverage Bars—indicating a broad scope of operational support needs. He procures services ranging from digital infrastructure engineering and archival storage logistics to on-site facility operations and accessibility compliance support, demonstrating expertise across both technical and ancillary service domains essential to sustaining a national cultural institution.
