Michael J. Anastasio

Michael J. Anastasio serves as Director of the Strategic Solutions Contracts Division within the GSA/FAS Center for IT Schedule Program, where he leads the development and management of enterprise-wide IT procurement strategies that enable federal agencies to rapidly acquire mission-critical technology solutions. In this role, he oversees the administration of IT Schedule 70 and related indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while accelerating digital transformation across the government. His portfolio focuses on scalable, pre-vetted contracting pathways for advanced IT services, with an emphasis on cloud-enabled infrastructure, managed networks, and integrated systems that support agency-wide modernization goals. Anastasio cultivates strategic partnerships with a broad spectrum of IT service providers, including large systems integrators, cloud-native vendors, and specialized managed service firms. His division maintains a vendor ecosystem built on rigorous pre-qualification standards, enabling agencies to access trusted, compliant solutions without redundant market research. He fosters collaborative relationships with contractors through proactive engagement, performance feedback loops, and continuous evaluation of technical capabilities to ensure alignment with evolving federal IT requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This approach prioritizes market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic set-asides, though small business participation remains encouraged through voluntary subcontracting and mentor-protégé initiatives. Anastasio’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing managed IT services, cybersecurity operations, network modernization, data center outsourcing, and cloud migration support. His technical expertise lies in procuring complex, integrated IT solutions that bridge legacy systems with next-generation platforms, ensuring federal agencies can deploy secure, scalable, and interoperable infrastructure aligned with modern digital governance standards.
