Alethea A. Moody

Alethea A. Moody serves as a Contract Specialist within the C5I Division 3 Portsmouth of the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for command, control, communications, computers, cyber, and intelligence (C5I) systems. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with national security objectives and operational resilience requirements. Her portfolio centers on modernizing maritime surveillance, navigation, and secure communication infrastructure to support search and rescue, homeland defense, and domain awareness missions. Moody’s acquisitions are strategically designed to integrate cutting-edge technologies while maintaining compliance with federal procurement regulations and Coast Guard cybersecurity standards. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored with TRIMBLE INC, a leading provider of precision positioning and geospatial solutions, reflecting a consistent reliance on firms with deep expertise in mission-critical C5I systems. Moody collaborates with vendors capable of delivering integrated hardware-software platforms, cyber-secure data fusion tools, and real-time analytics systems tailored for maritime environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, system interoperability, and long-term sustainment, fostering partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in delivering resilient, field-deployable solutions under stringent operational constraints. Moody’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the most capable and qualified offerors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her acquisitions remain open to all eligible vendors, ensuring competitive rigor and innovation. Her primary NAICS focus is on 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), underscoring her specialization in custom software development, systems integration, and cybersecurity-enabled services for maritime C5I architectures. She procures advanced data analytics platforms, secure network infrastructure, and mission-specific applications that enhance situational awareness and decision-making across Coast Guard operational domains.
