Challaine D. Moore

Challaine Moore serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions critical to sustaining Air Force operational readiness. Her work centers on securing high-value technical and administrative support services, including systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission-critical analytics. She executes complex procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition standards while aligning contract outcomes with the agency’s strategic modernization priorities. Her portfolio predominantly involves non-commercial, performance-based contracts requiring specialized expertise in technical consulting and data-driven service delivery. Moore maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established partners with proven capabilities in defense-oriented technical services. She routinely engages these entities for long-term, task-order-based engagements under IDIQ vehicles, fostering collaborative, performance-driven partnerships that emphasize innovation and mission alignment. Her contracting approach prioritizes continuity and institutional knowledge, often re-engaging vendors with demonstrated success in delivering complex, multi-year technical support solutions. While the majority of her acquisitions—87.5%—are conducted without set-asides, Moore consistently allocates 12.5% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. She does not favor specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, but instead prioritizes competitive small business eligibility, ensuring broad access while maintaining technical rigor in source selection. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 813920 (Professional Organizations), 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services), underscoring expertise in enterprise-level consulting, administrative support, and advanced IT services. She routinely procures mission-critical services in systems analysis, data governance, cybersecurity operations, and technical advisory support, aligning acquisitions with the Air Force’s broader goals of digital transformation and operational resilience.
