Elizabeth M Moya

Elizabeth M. Moya serves as a key procurement professional within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she manages the acquisition of critical professional, scientific, and technical services essential to national security operations. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance operational readiness through advanced research and development in physical and engineering sciences, cybersecurity, and systems engineering. Moya routinely handles complex contract actions for high-integrity technical services, including R&D, systems integration, and specialized instrumentation procurement, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Moya collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of contractors, including prime vendors specializing in engineering services, scientific instrumentation, and national security technology solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established technical partners with proven capabilities in R&D and systems engineering, alongside emerging firms capable of delivering innovative solutions under tight security protocols. She fosters long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability, technical compliance, and adherence to DHS cybersecurity requirements. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with approximately one-third of her actions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic categories are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses in high-technology domains. She actively encourages competition from firms capable of meeting stringent technical and security thresholds. Moya’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712, encompassing research and development in physical and engineering sciences, with additional emphasis on 334519 for precision measuring and controlling devices and 928110 for national security-related services. She procures advanced scientific equipment, cybersecurity-enabled systems, and specialized engineering support services critical to DHS’s mission infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in technical procurement within high-consequence domains.
