Angela A. Jones

Angela A. Jones serves as a key procurement lead within the 693JJ3 Acquisition and Grants Management unit of the Federal Highway Administration, where she manages complex technical acquisitions to advance the nation’s transportation infrastructure. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for engineering services, transportation research, and operational consulting that directly support data-driven infrastructure design and safety improvements. She specializes in procuring high-impact technical solutions that inform highway system innovation, ensuring alignment with federal standards and research priorities. Her portfolio centers on performance-based acquisitions requiring rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Jones maintains strategic relationships with top-tier contractors including K & M Transportation Services LLC and the University of California, Los Angeles, reflecting a balanced approach to partnering with specialized service providers and academic research institutions. She consistently engages vendors capable of delivering advanced analytical services, field testing, and systems engineering support for transportation applications. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-oriented partnerships that prioritize technical excellence, scalability, and adherence to federal research protocols. Jones’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit rather than socioeconomic designations, though she remains compliant with all small business participation requirements under federal guidelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), accounting for two-thirds of her activity, and NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), which drives her engagement in transportation safety analysis, materials testing, and infrastructure performance modeling. She routinely procures specialized services in pavement analysis, traffic data collection, and systems engineering to support FHWA’s mission of modernizing the national highway network through evidence-based innovation.
