John Striano

John M. Striano serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of complex information technology services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and promoting efficient, transparent contract execution. He plays a critical role in aligning agency technology needs with market capabilities, focusing primarily on the negotiation and award of service-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. His work supports the delivery of mission-critical IT solutions through structured sourcing strategies, competitive bidding, and post-award contract administration, ensuring that technical requirements are clearly defined and vendor performance is effectively monitored. While specific contractor names are not available, Striano consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in computer-related professional services, fostering relationships with both large systems integrators and small business concerns. His negotiation approach emphasizes value-based outcomes, performance metrics, and risk mitigation, promoting long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and compliance. He routinely collaborates with legal and technical teams to ensure contract terms reflect evolving cybersecurity standards and service-level expectations. Striano demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His contracting patterns prioritize broad small business inclusion, encouraging competition while maintaining compliance with statutory goals for socioeconomic equity in federal procurement. His primary focus is on NAICS 541519 — Other Computer Related Services — encompassing a wide range of IT support functions including systems integration, cloud advisory, data analytics, and custom software development. He procures services that enhance operational efficiency, digital transformation, and mission support across technical domains requiring specialized IT expertise, making him a key liaison between agency needs and the evolving commercial technology marketplace.
