Christy Moody

Christy Moody serves as a key procurement professional within NASA’s IT Procurement Office (80TECH), supporting the agency’s mission to advance aerospace innovation through specialized information technology acquisitions. She manages the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for mission-critical software, high-performance computing systems, and engineering services that underpin scientific research, spacecraft data systems, and real-time mission operations. Her work ensures that NASA’s scientific and engineering teams have access to secure, scalable, and cutting-edge IT infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on custom programming, systems design, and applied research services essential to space exploration and Earth science missions. Moody maintains strategic relationships with leading technical contractors including ZWICKROELL, LP and ABSOLUTE EMC LLC, firms known for their expertise in high-fidelity simulation, embedded systems, and mission-critical software development. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering complex, integrated solutions under stringent NASA compliance and security standards. These relationships are built on technical rigor, proven track records in aerospace environments, and the ability to respond to evolving mission requirements with agility and precision. Moody’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on sourcing the most technically capable providers, regardless of socioeconomic status, to meet the high-stakes demands of NASA’s scientific and engineering objectives. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her acquisitions remain open to all qualified vendors, with selection driven solely by technical merit and mission alignment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), with additional emphasis on 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences). She routinely procures real-time data processing systems, scientific instrumentation software, high-performance computing clusters, and engineered solutions for telemetry, navigation, and mission control systems—domain expertise that demands deep technical fluency and adherence to federal aerospace procurement standards.
