Angelina H. Waring

Angelina H. Waring serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contracts with agency mission objectives. She specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for technical and scientific services, with a focus on delivering high-value, mission-critical support through competitive and transparent processes. Her work supports the acquisition of expert consulting, research, and technology services essential to operational efficiency and policy development. Waring ensures adherence to FAR guidelines while fostering fair competition and accountability across the acquisition lifecycle. Waring collaborates with a diverse array of professional service providers, including consulting firms, research organizations, and IT service vendors, primarily engaged through competitive sealed bidding and request for proposal (RFP) processes. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in technical analysis, social science research, and computing infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor performance monitoring to ensure deliverables meet federal standards. Waring’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than prioritizing designated small business programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection while maintaining full compliance with socioeconomic contracting requirements as applicable. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities). She also regularly procures computing infrastructure and custom programming services under NAICS 518210 and 541511, respectively. Her domain expertise centers on evidence-based research, data-driven policy analysis, and technology-enabled service delivery, making her a key liaison between technical requirements and federal acquisition execution.
