Raymond M Fisher

Raymond M. Fisher serves as Team Leader for the S&SCT within the Office of the Chief Financial Officer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he leads the acquisition and management of mission-critical information technology services. In this role, he oversees the procurement of computer facilities management solutions that support the modernization of digital infrastructure and operational systems essential to agricultural policy implementation. His portfolio centers on securing advanced computing services, cybersecurity-enabling technologies, and technical consulting to sustain the agency’s data-driven decision-making capabilities, ensuring alignment with federal IT modernization and compliance standards. Raymond maintains strategic relationships with key contractors including ALPHA OMEGA INTEGRATION LLC, SAMYAK SOLUTIONS, INC., and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, with whom he collaborates on complex, performance-based acquisitions. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and consistent delivery of high-assurance IT services. He actively engages with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable infrastructure solutions tailored to USDA’s evolving operational needs. Raymond demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring robust participation from small businesses, without favoring specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His approach supports broad-based small business engagement across the IT services sector. His procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services), encompassing managed IT infrastructure, data center operations, cloud enablement, and systems integration. Raymond specializes in acquiring services that maintain the integrity, availability, and security of mission-critical computing environments, demonstrating deep expertise in federal IT service delivery frameworks and performance-based contracting methodologies.
