Angela Cohill

Angela Cohill serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1), supporting the agency’s mission to counter weapons of mass destruction through technical acquisition and contract management. She specializes in securing advanced scientific, analytical, and operational capabilities to detect, deter, and neutralize chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive threats. Her acquisitions primarily focus on professional and technical services that enable threat intelligence, forensic analysis, and rapid response systems, aligning closely with HDTRA1’s R&D-driven mission. Cohill manages complex, mission-critical contracts requiring high levels of technical oversight and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations. She maintains longstanding relationships with top-tier technical service providers including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with deep expertise in defense science, systems engineering, and cloud-based analytical platforms. Cohill’s contracting approach emphasizes mission-critical performance, rigorous technical evaluation, and sustained collaboration with vendors possessing specialized capabilities in WMD threat mitigation. Cohill’s procurement portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with HDTRA1’s need for specialized, non-commoditized technical services that require advanced certifications, security clearances, and domain-specific experience not typically available through small business channels. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing advanced research, modeling and simulation, forensic analysis, sensor development, and cyber-enabled threat detection systems. She routinely acquires high-complexity services supporting nuclear forensics, radiological monitoring, and multi-domain threat integration, demonstrating deep expertise in defense science and national security technology domains.
