Stephen Gervasi

Stephen A. Gervasi serves as a Contract Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 3, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical IT and professional services acquisitions for federal defense and civilian agencies. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, with a focus on modernizing enterprise IT infrastructure, enhancing cybersecurity capabilities, and supporting digital transformation initiatives. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex service-based procurements requiring technical expertise in software development, systems integration, and cloud-enabled platforms, ensuring alignment with GSA’s strategic objectives to sustain legacy defense systems while advancing next-generation digital capabilities. Gervasi cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, including large systems integrators, niche IT service providers, and infrastructure specialists. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, performance-based agreements that emphasize outcomes over inputs, often utilizing Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms where applicable. He works closely with contractors who demonstrate proven experience in federal IT modernization, cybersecurity compliance, and agile development methodologies, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted—reflecting a 91.7% non-set-aside rate—Gervasi maintains a consistent 8.3% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to integrate qualified small businesses into high-value IT service contracts. He actively encourages participation from small businesses with demonstrated technical competency in the domains he supports, though no specific socioeconomic categories dominate his award profile. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 541511 and 541512 (Custom Programming and Systems Design Services), and 518210 (Data Processing and Hosting), underscoring his deep expertise in enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, and IT operations support. He regularly procures services related to legacy system modernization, application development, and secure computing environments critical to national security and public service missions.
