Jessica Reed

Jessica Reed serves as Director of the GSA Federal Acquisition Service’s FAS AAS Fedsim division, where she leads the strategic procurement of mission-critical professional and technical services essential to federal IT modernization and national infrastructure resilience. In this role, she oversees the acquisition lifecycle for complex, high-impact contracts that support secure, scalable computing environments, including systems integration, cybersecurity architecture, and cloud-enabled logistics solutions. Her portfolio is laser-focused on delivering enterprise-grade technical services that align with federal mandates for interoperability, compliance, and operational continuity across defense and civilian agencies. Director Reed’s contractor relationships are primarily with established systems integration firms and IT consulting organizations specializing in end-to-end computer systems design. She collaborates with vendors capable of delivering secure, NIST-compliant architectures and agile development frameworks, often engaging through Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles such as ITES-2S and OASIS+. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term service delivery partnerships that ensure sustained operational readiness. Reed’s office maintains a 100% non-set-aside procurement posture, reflecting the mission-critical nature and scale of the services required. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her team actively encourages competition from all qualified vendors, including those with proven capabilities in federal IT modernization, without imposing mandatory socioeconomic thresholds. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541512 — Computer Systems Design Services — encompassing custom software development, systems architecture, network modernization, and integrated IT infrastructure design. She routinely acquires services that enable secure cloud migration, legacy system decommissioning, and real-time data analytics platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of federal IT transformation and mission-critical systems engineering.
