Ryan Redman

Ryan Keith Redman serves as a Contract Specialist within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a critical role in acquiring mission-critical systems that sustain the U.S. sea-based nuclear deterrent. He manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for strategic weapons integration, command and control infrastructure, and advanced engineering services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and national security requirements. His portfolio emphasizes technical precision, systems engineering rigor, and lifecycle sustainment, supporting the operational readiness of submarine-launched ballistic missile systems and associated platforms. Redman maintains established working relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration on high-stakes, technically demanding procurements requiring deep domain expertise in nuclear deterrence systems, cybersecurity integration, and mission-critical software development. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and seamless integration of advanced technologies into legacy and next-generation strategic platforms. While the majority of his acquisitions—76.7%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Redman consistently facilitates 23.3% of awards through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses within the national security industrial base. His socioeconomic strategy emphasizes inclusive competition without compromising technical integrity or mission urgency. His primary NAICS focus areas include Other Computer Related Services (541519) and Engineering Services (541330), underscoring his specialization in systems integration, software development, and technical analysis for strategic defense platforms. He also procures electronic computer manufacturing (334111) and specialized maintenance services (811310), demonstrating expertise across hardware, software, and sustainment domains critical to the Navy’s strategic deterrence mission.
