Angela P Apperson

Angela P. Apperson serves as a Contracting Officer for the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical technology and systems engineering services essential to sustaining naval warfighting readiness. Her portfolio centers on the development and integration of advanced command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and cyber-enabled decision support systems. She manages full lifecycle procurements—from requirements definition through contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with naval modernization priorities and DoD acquisition regulations. Apperson specializes in complex, high-technical-risk R&D contracts that support real-time data fusion, sensor interoperability, and armored vehicle modernization programs. Apperson maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These firms are selected for their proven expertise in systems integration, software-defined networking, and mission-critical analytics. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and collaborative contract management, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of delivering rapid prototyping, agile development, and field-deployable solutions under stringent operational constraints. Apperson’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on securing the highest technical capability available in the marketplace, prioritizing mission effectiveness over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally mandated in her portfolio, she actively evaluates all offerors on technical merit, ensuring competitive fairness without preferential treatment. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology)—reflecting her deep specialization in advanced engineering services. She procures cutting-edge solutions in electronic warfare support, secure communications infrastructure, embedded systems, and battlefield data analytics, consistently engaging contractors with expertise in DoD standards such as STANAG, MIL-STD, and NETCENTS frameworks.
