Ryan Reeder

Ryan Reeder serves as a procurement lead within the Utah state agency responsible for advancing public infrastructure and municipal services, playing a pivotal role in the acquisition of engineering, construction, and facility support solutions. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize critical public assets—including roads, bridges, water systems, and institutional buildings—ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisitions, from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring, with a focus on capital improvement projects and technical service contracts that enhance public safety and operational resilience. Reeder’s contractor relationships are broad-based and non-exclusive, engaging a wide array of vendors without concentration among any single prime contractor. He fosters competitive, transparent procurement processes that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and compliance with state standards. While no dominant contractors are identified in current award patterns, his approach supports a dynamic marketplace of qualified firms capable of delivering complex infrastructure and systems support. Set-aside preferences are uniformly non-targeted, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition, indicating a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a focus on merit-based selection and broad market access rather than mandated small business participation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 928110 (National Security), reflecting work on secure infrastructure systems, and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), indicating demand for digital infrastructure modernization. Additional activity in 511210 (Software Publishers) and 811210 (Electronic Equipment Repair) underscores expertise in integrating technology-enabled solutions into public works, with particular emphasis on cybersecurity, facility automation, and utility system maintenance.
