William Curto

William Curto supports the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD) in executing mission-critical procurement activities under the Office of Procurement Operations within the Department of Homeland Security. While his formal title is not specified, his role centers on managing professional and technical service acquisitions that sustain and modernize the agency’s digital infrastructure, administrative systems, and workforce development capabilities. He handles a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with IT modernization, data optimization, and operational efficiency initiatives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic procurement goals. Curto engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including specialized IT service providers, training organizations, and professional services firms. His contracting patterns reflect collaboration with both large-capability contractors and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize technical expertise and mission alignment. He maintains consistent working relationships with firms experienced in computer systems design, training delivery, and niche technical support services, ensuring acquisition outcomes meet the agency’s evolving operational demands. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 14.3% of contracts as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistent with DHS socioeconomic objectives. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are evident, his reliance on small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand vendor diversity and promote equitable access to federal opportunities. Curto’s primary procurement focus spans five NAICS categories, each representing 16.7% of his activity: Computer Training (611420), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), Other Computer Related Services (541519), Offsets of Physicians (621111), and All Other Legal Services (541199). This eclectic mix reflects the division’s need for integrated support services—ranging from cybersecurity training and IT architecture to administrative and compliance-related legal counsel—underscoring his expertise in managing complex, multidisciplinary acquisitions.
