Jeremiah Keenan

Jeremiah Keenan serves as a Contract Specialist within the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission to deliver equitable access to nutrition assistance through programs like SNAP, WIC, and the National School Lunch Program. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with FNS’s strategic priorities in program modernization and data-driven operations. His portfolio is exclusively focused on custom computer programming services, reflecting FNS’s emphasis on digital transformation and system integration to enhance program integrity and operational efficiency. Keenan collaborates with a diverse range of federal contractors specializing in software development, system integration, and data analytics for public health programs. While no single vendor dominates his award history, he consistently engages with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and compliant custom solutions tailored to the complex needs of federal nutrition assistance systems. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical capability, past performance, and adherence to federal cybersecurity and accessibility standards, fostering partnerships with both large IT service providers and agile niche developers. Keenan’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside pattern, indicating a preference for full and open competition under FAR Part 15. This approach prioritizes technical merit and value over socioeconomic designations, aligning with FNS’s need for high-performance, mission-critical systems that require specialized expertise not always available within small business pools. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, his acquisitions remain fully compliant with all applicable small business goals and reporting requirements. His primary NAICS code focus—541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services)—underscores his deep specialization in procuring bespoke software solutions, including backend data platforms, eligibility determination systems, client-facing portals, and analytics dashboards. He possesses advanced expertise in acquiring systems that integrate with federal data exchanges, support real-time reporting, and comply with FNS’s stringent operational and privacy standards.
