Christine A. Todd

Christine A. Todd serves as a key procurement lead within the National Continuity SECTION (CON50) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, responsible for acquiring critical technical services and infrastructure solutions that sustain national communications resilience during emergencies. Her role centers on executing complex acquisitions for secure, redundant communication systems, emergency response platforms, and technical support services aligned with DHS continuity of operations mandates. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning professional, scientific, and information technology services, ensuring alignment with federal cybersecurity standards and mission-critical reliability requirements. Todd maintains strategic relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including specialized firms in communications equipment manufacturing, cybersecurity services, and emergency infrastructure support. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, technically proficient vendors capable of rapid deployment and interoperability with federal emergency networks. She engages both large primes and niche specialists, fostering partnerships that prioritize innovation, supply chain resilience, and compliance with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) frameworks. Her procurement approach reflects a strong emphasis on small business inclusion, with over 27% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including a notable focus on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). While the majority of contracts remain open competition, her consistent use of FAR 19.5 total small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding socioeconomic participation in national continuity efforts. Todd’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (other professional and technical services) and 541519 (other computer-related services), with significant activity in 334220 (wireless communications equipment manufacturing). She routinely acquires hardened communication systems, emergency radio infrastructure, and integrated technical support solutions critical to sustaining federal operations during extended disruptions, underscoring her expertise in mission-critical telecommunications and resilience engineering.
