Myrna McIntosh

Myrna McIntosh serves as a key procurement lead within the Social Security Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grants, driving the acquisition of mission-critical services that sustain the agency’s operational infrastructure. She manages a portfolio centered on software development, systems integration, and cybersecurity support, ensuring the reliability and security of IT systems underpinning Social Security benefit delivery. Her work directly supports the agency’s modernization goals by facilitating the procurement of compliant, scalable, and resilient technical solutions that align with federal information security standards. McIntosh specializes in full lifecycle contracting—from requirements definition to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on complex, high-stakes acquisitions that require deep technical evaluation and risk mitigation. Her primary contractor relationships include CA, Inc., Johnson Controls, Inc., East Coast Welding & Construction Co. Inc., and Colorid, LLC, reflecting a blend of large-scale IT and facilities support vendors. She cultivates strategic partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated solutions across cybersecurity, facility maintenance, and enterprise software modernization. These relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, rigorous compliance monitoring, and a focus on vendor accountability in meeting SSA’s stringent operational and security requirements. McIntosh demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference ensures that small businesses—particularly those owned by women, minorities, and other underserved groups—have equitable access to federal contracting opportunities within the SSA ecosystem. Her approach reinforces the agency’s mission to foster inclusive economic growth while maintaining procurement integrity. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS code 811219, which encompasses other personal services, including specialized administrative, technical, and support services for federal agencies. This specialization reflects her expertise in procuring niche, non-manufacturing services such as IT consulting, systems analysis, facility maintenance coordination, and compliance-driven administrative support—all essential to sustaining SSA’s secure and efficient public service delivery.
