Josh McCormack

Josh McCormack serves as a procurement professional within the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD), supporting the Office of Procurement Operations at the Department of Homeland Security. He manages the acquisition of professional and technical services critical to sustaining and modernizing the agency’s digital infrastructure, administrative systems, and workforce development capabilities. His portfolio primarily includes contracts for computer systems design, engineering services, and related IT support, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities in cybersecurity, data optimization, and operational efficiency. McCormack operates within a framework that prioritizes mission-critical outcomes through compliant, performance-based contracting under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. His contractor relationships are diverse, engaging both large-tier systems integrators and niche technical service providers to deliver specialized solutions in IT modernization and infrastructure support. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he routinely collaborates with vendors capable of delivering secure, scalable computing environments and enterprise-level technical services. His working patterns reflect a preference for competitive, full-and-open solicitations, with a strong emphasis on technical merit and past performance evaluation. McCormack’s contracting approach reflects a deliberate balance between open competition and small business inclusion. Approximately 85.7% of his actions are conducted as full-and-open procurements, while 14.3% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but consistent commitment to socioeconomic objectives without compromising mission needs. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business participation through general set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), with significant activity in engineering services and facility-related support. He procures services including cloud migration support, network modernization, systems integration, and technical consulting—domain areas requiring deep expertise in federal IT compliance, risk management, and cybersecurity frameworks.
