He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for software systems, cybersecurity solutions, and digital service platforms that support clinical care, data interoperability, and administrative modernization across the national VA network. His work directly advances the agency’s strategic goals of delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable technology solutions to enhance veteran services through compliant, performance-based contracting. Fitzmaurice maintains consistent working relationships with leading technology vendors including Palantir Technologies Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc., and Thundercat Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-capacity systems integrators and specialized IT service providers capable of delivering complex enterprise solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering long-term collaborations with contractors who demonstrate proven experience in federal IT modernization environments. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Fitzmaurice demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) receiving the largest share of set-aside awards, followed by total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores his alignment with VA’s mandate to prioritize veteran-owned enterprises while maintaining competitive, mission-driven outcomes. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting expertise in custom software development, systems integration, and IT consulting. He routinely acquires cloud-enabled platforms, data analytics tools, and cybersecurity infrastructure, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal IT modernization priorities and mission-critical technology domains.
