Courteney Hewlett

Courteney Hewlett serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, supporting the agency’s mission to enhance commercial motor vehicle safety through strategic acquisitions of technical and safety-critical systems. Responsible for managing contract lifecycle activities under FAR Part 19 and Part 36, Hewlett specializes in acquisitions related to motor vehicle safety systems and custom software development, ensuring compliance with federal safety standards for driver fitness, vehicle maintenance, and hazardous materials transport. Their portfolio primarily supports data-driven safety initiatives and regulatory enforcement tools, bridging operational needs with technological solutions. Hewlett maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including TECHANAX LLC, TIPPING POINT SOLUTIONS, INC., YES& FEDERAL, LLC, SOHUM SYSTEMS LLC, and CENTRAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND, INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing—engaging both established federal contractors and mission-aligned small businesses with specialized expertise in brake system diagnostics, safety analytics platforms, and accessible technology development. The relationships are characterized by repeat engagement and performance-based contract management, emphasizing reliability and technical alignment with FMCSA’s safety objectives. Hewlett exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal distribution between open competitions and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition among small businesses without preference for specific socioeconomically designated categories, promoting broad-based participation while maintaining rigorous performance standards. The approach supports FMCSA’s goal of leveraging diverse vendor capabilities to meet evolving safety technology demands. The primary NAICS focus is 336340 (Motor Vehicle Brake System Manufacturing), reflecting procurement of advanced braking technologies and safety components, complemented by 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) for integrated safety monitoring systems and regulatory compliance platforms. Hewlett’s expertise lies at the intersection of mechanical safety engineering and digital data systems, ensuring procurements directly support real-time enforcement and predictive safety analytics.
