Richard Segich

Richard D. Segich serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions in information technology and professional services. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while promoting efficiency, competition, and mission alignment. His portfolio primarily encompasses IT services, data infrastructure, and software-related contracts, with a focus on securing mission-critical capabilities through full and open competition and targeted small business set-asides. Segich’s expertise lies in structuring performance-based solicitations that balance technical requirements with fiscal responsibility. While specific contractor names are not available, Segich consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including large systems integrators, cloud and data hosting providers, and specialized IT consultants. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established market participants with proven technical capabilities, alongside active engagement with small businesses meeting set-aside criteria. He fosters collaborative vendor relationships through clear solicitation language, structured evaluation criteria, and post-award performance monitoring to ensure deliverables align with agency objectives. Segich demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 23.1% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Although no other socioeconomic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) are statistically prominent, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to expand market access for qualified small firms. His contracting approach balances regulatory compliance with economic development goals, reinforcing the federal mandate to promote equitable opportunity in government procurement. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 518210 (Data Processing and Hosting Services), and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services), reflecting deep expertise in software development, cloud infrastructure, and custom IT solutions. He also procures related services through 423430 (Computer Equipment Wholesalers) and 541211 (CPA Services), indicating a broad but targeted approach to supporting both technical and administrative functions within the agency’s operational ecosystem.
