Royce Staley

Royce Staley serves as a key procurement lead within Dha Enterprise Medical Support (EMS-CD), operating under the Defense Health Agency, where they oversee the acquisition of enterprise-level health IT solutions critical to modernizing military medical operations. Responsible for managing complex software and systems integration contracts, Staley ensures the agency’s digital infrastructure supports secure, scalable, and interoperable clinical and administrative workflows. Their work directly advances the Defense Health Agency’s mission to deliver integrated, data-driven health services to service members and their families by securing mission-critical technology that enhances operational readiness and cybersecurity compliance across the DoD health ecosystem. Staley maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships with firms specializing in health information systems, cloud-based medical platforms, and enterprise software services. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage with industry leaders and niche specialists capable of delivering secure, FedRAMP-compliant solutions tailored to military health environments. Their contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, agile development methodologies, and adherence to DoD cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC requirements. Staley’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under non-set-aside authorities. There is no current emphasis on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes rapid deployment of high-impact solutions and aligns with the agency’s urgent need for scalable, enterprise-grade systems. The agency’s sole NAICS focus—541519 (Other Computer Related Services)—reveals Staley’s deep specialization in custom software development, health data analytics, system integration, and IT consulting services. They procure solutions that support electronic health records modernization, clinical decision support tools, interoperable health information exchanges, and secure cloud migration initiatives, demonstrating expertise in the intersection of defense healthcare and enterprise IT architecture.
