Jeremy Keator

Jeremy Keator serves as the primary procurement lead for the DOL’s Cas Division 3 Procurement, operating within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management. He is responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized medical, administrative, and facility support services critical to the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs. His portfolio ensures the timely delivery of compliant health and operational services to federal employees, overseeing contracts for provider networks, claims processing infrastructure, and ancillary support systems. Keator’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain a reliable, efficient, and legally compliant worker compensation ecosystem. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Keator maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem, engaging both large-scale service providers and small businesses to fulfill complex operational needs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based service agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) instruments, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, compliant solutions across multiple geographic regions. He emphasizes vendor accountability through clear performance metrics and quality assurance protocols. Keator demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 17.8% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are currently evident, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), supporting temporary lodging for injured workers and medical personnel; NAICS 621111 (offices of physicians), ensuring access to authorized medical providers; and NAICS 518210 (data processing and hosting services), underpinning the digital infrastructure for claims management and health data exchange. His expertise lies in integrating clinical, logistical, and technological services into a cohesive, mission-driven procurement strategy.
