Maxwell Day

Maxwell R. Day serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex information technology and transportation-related acquisitions within a federal agency. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions, from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. He primarily handles service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in software development, systems integration, and air logistics support, aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives in digital modernization and operational mobility. Day maintains a broad contractor network, engaging both large primes and small businesses across the IT and aviation sectors. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in custom programming, systems design, and scheduled air freight services. His working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous evaluation criteria focused on technical merit and past performance. A strong majority of his acquisitions—89.5%—are conducted without set-asides, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition to ensure best value. However, he consistently reserves 10.5% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His approach balances competitive integrity with statutory small business goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and its closely related categories, including custom programming, systems design, and computer services. He also regularly procures scheduled freight air transportation services under NAICS 481112, indicating expertise in both digital infrastructure and logistics support. This dual-domain specialization positions him as a key liaison between IT modernization initiatives and mission-critical transportation operations.
