Christina N. Mazzoli

Christina N. Mazzoli serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1), supporting the agency’s mission to counter weapons of mass destruction through strategic acquisition of advanced scientific and technical capabilities. She manages a portfolio of research and development contracts focused on detection, deterrence, and neutralization of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive threats. Her work directly enables HDTRA1’s operational readiness by securing cutting-edge analytical tools, engineering solutions, and mission-critical systems from industry partners with deep expertise in national security science. Mazzoli maintains strong, sustained relationships with leading technical contractors including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in defense R&D, systems engineering, and cloud-based threat analytics. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors who can deliver complex, high-integrity solutions under stringent security and compliance requirements, often involving classified or sensitive environments. Her procurement patterns show no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven priority to source the most technically capable solutions regardless of vendor size, aligning with HDTRA1’s need for specialized, non-commoditized expertise in high-consequence threat domains. The majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and management consulting (541611). She procures advanced sensor systems, forensic analysis tools, threat modeling platforms, and secure computational infrastructure—demonstrating deep expertise in multidisciplinary defense science and engineering procurement.
