D'Angela Moore

D’Angela Moore serves as a Contract Specialist within the NHTSA Office of Acquisition, supporting the agency’s mission to advance vehicle safety through evidence-based procurement. She manages the full lifecycle of complex research and development contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with NHTSA’s strategic priorities in engineering safety technologies, behavioral research, and regulatory data analysis. Her work directly enables the development and evaluation of next-generation automotive safety systems, including advanced driver assistance technologies and fuel efficiency metrics, through technically rigorous solicitation and award processes. Moore maintains consistent procurement relationships with specialized contractors such as AMD International Technologies LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and the National Association of ESEA State Program Administrators. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-technical-capability vendors with expertise in engineering research, data modeling, and safety program implementation. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with firms capable of delivering scientific and technical solutions under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. Moore’s portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a strategic focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions are driven by the need for specialized scientific expertise, ensuring that procurement outcomes directly support NHTSA’s mission-critical research objectives. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—encompassing engineering studies, crash simulation modeling, behavioral analysis, and safety campaign evaluation. She routinely procures services involving vehicle safety testing protocols, data analytics platforms, and regulatory impact assessments, demonstrating deep domain expertise in transportation safety R&D and a commitment to acquiring high-quality, technically defensible solutions.
