Larry Silvey serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing acquisitions in the domain of computing infrastructure and data services. His role centers on ensuring the agency’s technology needs are met through compliant, efficient contracting practices, with a primary focus on securing reliable, scalable IT infrastructure solutions.

Silvey maintains a broad network of vendor relationships primarily with firms specializing in computing infrastructure, data center services, and web hosting platforms. He engages with both large systems integrators and niche technology providers capable of delivering secure, compliant IT environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, service-level agreements, and cybersecurity readiness, fostering partnerships with vendors who demonstrate technical excellence and adherence to federal standards such as FedRAMP and NIST 800-53. His procurement patterns show a consistent preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities.
