Lawrence Sneeringer

Lawrence Sneeringer serves as a key procurement professional within the Social Security Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grants, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize critical IT infrastructure and secure essential administrative services. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on software development, systems integration, and cybersecurity solutions, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of systems underpinning Social Security benefit delivery. His work spans the full lifecycle of contracting—from requirements definition and market research to award and performance oversight—with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical service continuity. Sneeringer maintains established working relationships with core contractors including CA, Inc. and COLORID, LLC, consistently engaging these vendors for complex technology modernization and operational support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated solutions across IT, telecommunications, and facility support domains. These relationships are characterized by sustained collaboration, iterative delivery models, and a focus on scalable, secure infrastructure. His contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 75% of awards issued under open competition and 25% reserved for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not favor specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering competition and expanding vendor participation among qualified small entities. Sneeringer’s primary NAICS focus areas include All Other Support Services (561990), All Other Telecommunications (517810), Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (811210), and Computer Storage Device Manufacturing (334112). These reflect a technical emphasis on mission-critical support services, telecommunications systems, hardware maintenance, and secure data storage solutions—all vital to sustaining the SSA’s operational backbone and digital service delivery platforms.
