Lincoln Capstick

Lincoln Capstick serves as a key procurement lead within the Internal Revenue Service, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize tax administration through advanced IT systems and digital service delivery. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in cybersecurity, data management, and taxpayer-facing platforms, Capstick ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the IRS’s strategic priorities in infrastructure modernization and secure digital transformation. His portfolio primarily encompasses IT services contracts aligned with mission-critical systems, including cloud-enabled applications, legacy system integration, and enhanced cybersecurity controls to safeguard taxpayer data. Capstick maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized computer services supporting IRS operational modernization. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and compliance with federal IT standards. While AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC is a dominant contractor, Capstick’s procurement strategy also facilitates competition among qualified vendors to ensure innovation and cost-effectiveness across the acquisition lifecycle. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his procurements set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded as full and open competitions. This dual approach underscores a deliberate effort to foster small business participation without compromising access to mission-critical expertise, aligning with Treasury’s broader goals of equitable opportunity and operational resilience. Capstick’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting deep specialization in bespoke software development, systems integration, and IT support services. He consistently acquires solutions for taxpayer portal enhancements, backend data analytics platforms, and secure infrastructure modernization, demonstrating strong technical acumen in federal IT modernization domains and a clear understanding of IRS-specific compliance and security requirements.
