Ryan Carroll

Ryan Carroll serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex information technology services acquisitions within a federal agency. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective access to advanced technical solutions. His portfolio centers on non-personal services contracts involving software development, systems integration, and data analytics support, all aligned with modern digital transformation priorities. He works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to define performance-based requirements and ensure acquisitions adhere to FAR and agency-specific acquisition policies. Carroll maintains a broad network of vendor relationships across the IT services sector, engaging both large prime contractors and niche technology providers capable of delivering specialized computer-related services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes over prescriptive technical specifications, encouraging innovation through performance-based acquisition strategies. He routinely utilizes indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and multiple-award task order contracts to streamline procurement and foster competition among qualified vendors. Carroll’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing capability and past performance over certification status. While he does not routinely target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures full and open competition in accordance with statutory requirements, allowing all eligible firms to compete on an equal footing. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519 — Other Computer Related Services — encompassing a wide array of IT support functions including cloud migration, cybersecurity consulting, custom application development, and IT modernization initiatives. He specializes in procuring agile, DevOps-enabled solutions and services that support mission-critical systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with modern software lifecycle management and federal IT modernization frameworks.
