Kevin Criley

Kevin Criley serves as a key procurement professional within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 8, where he supports mission-critical acquisition initiatives focused on advanced technology and engineering services. He plays a central role in executing strategic procurements that enable federal cybersecurity resilience, digital infrastructure modernization, and operational support for mission-critical facilities. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions, from requirements definition and market research to solicitation issuance and award execution, primarily for engineering and computer systems design services. Criley ensures alignment with GSA’s mandate to deliver efficient, compliant, and innovative solutions across federal agencies in the region. Criley maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of contractors specializing in technical services, including firms with deep expertise in systems architecture, network modernization, and cybersecurity integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses capable of delivering complex, high-assurance technical solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria focused on technical merit and past performance. Criley’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as non-set-aside. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical capability rather than socioeconomic designations, though he remains compliant with all small business participation requirements. His approach prioritizes mission effectiveness over socioeconomic set-asides, while still ensuring fair opportunity for all eligible vendors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), encompassing systems integration, infrastructure design, cloud migration, and secure network architecture. He regularly acquires technical services supporting federal cybersecurity frameworks, IT modernization initiatives, and mission-critical facility operations, demonstrating deep expertise in procuring high-compliance, high-availability technical solutions.
