Angela Tejeda

Angela Tejeda serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced ordnance systems and explosive technologies. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on the lifecycle support of munitions, precision instrumentation, and specialized manufacturing processes critical to naval warfare readiness. Her work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical components through competitive contracting mechanisms, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance, safety standards, and operational reliability across high-hazard environments. Tejeda maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including TOTAL CONCEPTS OF DESIGN INC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., CHUCKING MACHINE PRODUCTS, INC., CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORP, and DEVAL LIFE CYCLE SUPPORT LLC. These partners provide niche expertise in explosives manufacturing, hazardous material handling, precision metal coating, and ordnance system integration. Her procurement approach favors long-term, technically complex engagements with vendors possessing proven capability in defense-grade production and testing environments, often requiring stringent certification and security clearances. Her contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical suitability and operational readiness over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the high-risk, low-margin nature of ordnance-related procurement where specialized capability is non-negotiable. Tejeda’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), 332812 (Metal Coating and Engraving), 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories), and 336419 (Guided Missile Components). She routinely acquires high-precision components, pyrotechnic systems, explosive train assemblies, and specialized machining services for ordnance handling and detonation control, demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense manufacturing and explosive safety protocols.
