Stephen Casimir

Stephen Casimir serves as a key procurement professional within the Program Support Center Acquisition Management Service, supporting the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services. In this capacity, he manages complex acquisitions of specialized technical and administrative services critical to advancing public health infrastructure. His responsibilities include overseeing the procurement of advanced computing systems, laboratory support solutions, and management consulting services that enable biomedical research and operational efficiency across federal health programs. Casimir’s work directly aligns with the agency’s mission to modernize scientific and administrative capabilities through strategic sourcing, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities to frontline health operations. Casimir maintains enduring relationships with a select group of high-performing contractors, most notably Science Applications International Corporation and SARA Software Systems LLC, both of which provide advanced technical and software solutions tailored to federal health missions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service delivery, and technical alignment with agency priorities. These partnerships are characterized by sustained engagement, rigorous evaluation of deliverables, and a focus on innovation in support of scalable health infrastructure. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and operational capability, rather than socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, the agency’s structure allows for incidental inclusion of small firms through competitive open bidding. Casimir’s acquisitions center on high-technology domains including enterprise software systems, data analytics platforms, laboratory automation tools, and systems integration services. His expertise lies in procuring solutions that support secure, scalable, and interoperable health information environments, with a technical focus on cloud-enabled applications, cybersecurity-compliant platforms, and mission-critical backend infrastructure essential to federal health research and administration.
