Ryan McClelland

Ryan McClelland serves as a Senior Risk Management Analyst within Washington County’s Risk Agency in Hillsboro, Oregon, where he plays a pivotal role in overseeing the procurement of third-party administrative services critical to public benefit systems. His responsibilities include evaluating, selecting, and managing contracts for pharmacy benefit management and insurance administration functions that support workers’ compensation and organizational governance. As a primary procurement lead, McClelland ensures compliance with state and federal regulatory frameworks while advancing the agency’s mission of cost-effective, transparent, and accountable service delivery. He primarily handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring rigorous risk assessment and vendor due diligence. McClelland collaborates with a network of specialized third-party administrators and insurance services providers, many of whom possess deep expertise in workers’ compensation claims processing, utilization review, and pharmacy cost containment. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven track records in public sector insurance administration and robust data security protocols. He maintains structured vendor engagement processes, emphasizing accountability, audit readiness, and service-level performance metrics. McClelland’s contracting approach reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside.” He does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead emphasizing technical capability, operational scale, and compliance infrastructure as the primary selection criteria. His approach aligns with the agency’s need for high-volume, mission-critical services that demand enterprise-grade reliability over socioeconomic targeting. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 524292—Pharmacy Benefit Management and Other Third Party Administration of Insurance and Pension Funds. He specializes in acquiring services related to claims adjudication, formulary management, provider network contracting, and benefit plan administration for public workers’ compensation programs. McClelland’s technical expertise lies in evaluating vendor systems for interoperability with state databases, fraud detection capabilities, and adherence to HIPAA and ERISA standards.
