Ryan Day

Ryan Day serves as a Supervisory IS Specialist within the GSA/FAS Center for IT Schedule Program, where he oversees the acquisition and management of information technology services critical to federal digital transformation. In this role, he ensures the efficient execution of IT Schedule contracts, particularly those related to computer facilities management, cloud-enabled infrastructure, and managed IT services. His responsibilities include guiding contracting teams through complex technical requirements, evaluating vendor compliance with federal IT standards, and maintaining the integrity of pre-vetted procurement pathways that enable agencies to rapidly deploy scalable, secure, and mission-critical IT solutions. He plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategy with modernization goals across federal networks and enterprise computing environments. Ryan collaborates with a broad spectrum of IT service providers, including large systems integrators and specialized managed service vendors, to ensure consistent delivery of high-performance computing and facilities management solutions. His working relationships are built on adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) compliance, performance-based contracting principles, and rigorous technical evaluation criteria. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in data center operations, network optimization, and hybrid cloud infrastructure support. Ryan’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and scalability over socioeconomic categorizations, though he remains supportive of small business participation when vendors meet stringent performance and compliance benchmarks. His primary focus is on NAICS 541513—Computer Facilities Management Services—where he procures end-to-end solutions for data center operations, server hosting, IT infrastructure monitoring, and managed network services. His technical expertise spans cloud migration, cybersecurity-integrated facilities, and FedRAMP-aligned platforms, ensuring federal agencies receive reliable, compliant, and future-ready IT support.
