Ryan C. Byrd

Ryan C. Byrd serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices aligned with agency mission objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and construction-related contracts, with a strong emphasis on technology-driven solutions and infrastructure support. Byrd’s work ensures that procurement activities meet both operational needs and statutory obligations, particularly in fostering competition and accountability across the acquisition spectrum. While specific contractor names are not available, Byrd maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships spanning IT services firms, electrical and plumbing contractors, and roofing and civil construction firms. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with consistent engagement with small businesses and specialized contractors capable of delivering technical and physical infrastructure services. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate past performance, technical competence, and compliance with socioeconomic program requirements. Byrd demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with over 65% of his awards issued under open, non-set-aside conditions, while actively supporting socioeconomic programs through targeted set-asides. HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides account for nearly 23% of his awards collectively, with an additional 10.2% allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while intentionally advancing opportunities for historically underutilized business zones and veteran-owned enterprises. His primary procurement focus lies in Custom Computer Programming Services (NAICS 541511), which constitutes over 30% of his activity, indicating deep expertise in software development, systems integration, and IT modernization. He also regularly procures construction services under NAICS codes for electrical, plumbing, roofing, and highway construction, demonstrating technical familiarity with both digital infrastructure and physical capital projects. This dual specialization positions him as a versatile procurement professional capable of managing complex, multidisciplinary acquisitions across both IT and construction domains.
