Angela Parker

Angela Parker supports the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic (NCTAMS Lant) in managing critical telecommunications and network infrastructure acquisitions. While her official title is not publicly listed, her procurement activities center on sustaining and modernizing secure voice, data, and network services essential to Navy command and control operations across the Atlantic theater. She handles complex contracting actions involving wired telecommunications systems, network maintenance, and specialized wiring installations, ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity and interoperability standards. Her work directly enables operational readiness by securing resilient communication pathways for naval forces. Parker collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily those specializing in wired telecommunications carriers and industrial equipment maintenance. She engages with both large prime contractors and qualified small businesses to deliver end-to-end solutions for network modernization, fiber optic deployment, and legacy system upgrades. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in military-grade communications environments, while maintaining flexibility to integrate niche providers capable of supporting specialized maintenance and installation requirements. Her procurement strategy prioritizes non-set-aside contracts at 75%, yet maintains a consistent 25% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach to competition and capability. While she does not heavily favor specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, her reliance on small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to foster innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base supporting naval communications. Parker’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers), reflecting her core mission to procure backbone network services, transmission systems, and secure data transport infrastructure. She also regularly acquires services under NAICS 811310 for industrial telecom equipment repair and NAICS 238210 for electrical and wiring installation, underscoring her technical expertise in physical layer infrastructure. Her domain expertise spans secure telecommunications architecture, network resilience, and mission-critical system sustainment within the Department of the Navy’s Atlantic operational environment.
