Shane Ryberg

Shane Ryberg serves as a primary procurement lead within the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where he plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission to modernize Medicare and Medicaid systems through strategic acquisition of professional and technical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on administrative management consulting and applied research initiatives, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and the agency’s priorities in digital transformation, data integrity, and beneficiary experience enhancement. His work directly supports the deployment of scalable, secure, and efficient solutions that underpin nationwide healthcare program operations. Ryberg maintains a consistent working relationship with ROCKET MEDIA GROUP, LLC, a key contractor providing strategic consulting and technical support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in federal healthcare systems, while maintaining flexibility to engage new entrants through competitive solicitations. He fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships grounded in clear deliverables, outcome-based metrics, and compliance with FAR requirements, ensuring accountability and value across the acquisition lifecycle. His procurement approach prioritizes broad market access, with approximately two-thirds of acquisitions conducted as no-set-aside actions and one-third structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a deliberate strategy to maintain competition while actively promoting opportunities for small businesses, particularly those with specialized capabilities in healthcare administration and systems research. Ryberg does not favor specific socioeconomic categories but consistently leverages small business authorities to expand vendor diversity and innovation. His primary focus lies in NAICS 541611 for administrative and management consulting services, supporting process optimization, policy implementation, and operational efficiency across CMS programs. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 541715, engaging firms to conduct applied research in healthcare systems, data analytics, and technology integration. These acquisitions reflect deep domain expertise in federal healthcare infrastructure, digital modernization, and evidence-based program improvement.
