Angela Fortson

Angela Fortson supports the IT Program Support Division within the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Information Technology, where she plays a critical role in executing procurements that modernize digital systems essential to housing assistance, financial compliance, and counseling services. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions centered on custom software development, data analytics platforms, and IT infrastructure modernization, ensuring alignment with HUD’s mission to enable data-driven decision-making across federal housing programs. Her work directly supports the deployment of secure, scalable solutions that enhance loan servicing, program integrity, and beneficiary access to housing resources. Fortson maintains a consistent working relationship with CoreLogic Solutions, LLC, a primary contractor delivering advanced data integration and software development services. Her procurement approach favors established vendors with proven expertise in housing-sector IT systems, while also actively engaging smaller firms capable of delivering agile, mission-aligned solutions. She cultivates long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, compliance with federal IT standards, and the ability to support complex, multi-year modernization initiatives. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding participation by small businesses in HUD’s technology modernization efforts. While not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, her portfolio ensures equitable access for small firms with relevant technical capabilities. Fortson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), which accounts for nearly 60% of her activity, followed by 511210 (Software Publishers) and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services). She specializes in acquiring custom-built applications for housing eligibility verification, automated reporting, and real-time data dashboards, reflecting deep expertise in federal housing IT ecosystems and the technical demands of compliance-driven software development.
