Charlotte J Moore

Charlotte E. Moore serves as a key procurement professional within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she manages the acquisition of critical professional, scientific, and technical services essential to national security operations. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance operational readiness through advanced research, systems engineering, and cybersecurity capabilities. She routinely oversees the procurement of complex, high-stakes contracts for consulting services, technical analysis, and specialized engineering solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with strategic homeland security objectives. Moore maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in scientific and technical services, partnering with both large prime contractors and niche technical firms capable of delivering mission-critical expertise in physical sciences, explosives engineering, and systems integration. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven solicitations that prioritize technical proficiency and proven capability over cost alone. She engages with contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, fostering long-term relationships built on accountability and technical excellence. Moore’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified technical talent, prioritizing capability and mission fit over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations are structured to allow equitable access for firms of all sizes that meet stringent technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with a secondary emphasis on 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing). She regularly acquires services related to threat assessment modeling, hazardous materials handling, cybersecurity infrastructure design, and advanced engineering support, demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense-critical technical domains.
