J B Worley

J. B. Worley III serves as a Contracting Specialist at the Virginia Contracting Activity (HHM402), a critical procurement hub within the Department of Defense’s Defense Intelligence Agency. He manages complex acquisitions supporting classified intelligence missions, with a focus on research and development in physical and engineering sciences, custom software development, and advanced systems design for real-time data exploitation. His work directly enables mission-critical capabilities in missile systems, signals intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure, ensuring timely delivery of technically sophisticated solutions that meet stringent national security requirements. Worley collaborates with a diverse pool of defense contractors and technical service providers, including firms specializing in systems integration, secure software engineering, and communications equipment manufacturing. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with vendors possessing Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances and proven expertise in DoD technical standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) protocols for high-risk, mission-essential procurements. Worley demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 30.8% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages socioeconomic programs to foster innovation from small, agile vendors, prioritizing opportunities for small businesses with relevant technical capabilities in engineering and R&D. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—supporting both large prime contractors with deep DoD experience and qualified small businesses capable of delivering niche, high-value technical services. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and 541330 (engineering services), with significant activity in communications equipment manufacturing and specialized software development. He routinely procures advanced data exploitation tools, secure embedded systems, and custom analytical platforms that enhance intelligence processing and operational decision-making across classified environments.
