Ryan Kaufman

Ryan S. Kaufman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. His portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on management consulting and information technology solutions. Kaufman works closely with program offices to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring transparency, competition, and value for the government. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Kaufman’s acquisition patterns suggest a consistent engagement with firms offering administrative management consulting, computer systems design, and broader IT support services. His procurement approach favors open competition and leverages standard government-wide acquisition vehicles, fostering relationships with both large-capability contractors and qualified small businesses that meet technical and compliance standards. Kaufman demonstrates a clear preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 85.7% of his awards issued under full and open competition. Nevertheless, he actively supports small business participation, consistently allocating 14.3% of his contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic commitment to fostering market competition while ensuring small businesses have meaningful access to federal opportunities without compromising acquisition efficiency. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), accounting for two-thirds of his activity, followed by 541519 and 541512, which encompass computer-related services and systems design. Kaufman specializes in acquiring strategic advisory services, process optimization, and IT modernization solutions, indicating deep expertise in supporting organizational efficiency through technology-enabled consulting and systems integration.
