Jeffrey Martin

Jeffrey Martin serves as a Contracting Officer for the 693JJ3 Acquisition and Grants Management unit within the Federal Highway Administration, where he oversees the procurement of technical services critical to advancing national transportation infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration—focusing on engineering, research, and operational consulting services that support data-driven highway design and safety innovation. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to enhance infrastructure resilience through evidence-based solutions. Martin maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including K & M Transportation Services LLC and the University of California, Los Angeles, reflecting a balanced portfolio of private-sector engineering firms and leading academic research institutions. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based partnerships that deliver specialized technical expertise in transportation systems analysis, field testing, and policy evaluation. He routinely engages vendors capable of delivering high-integrity, federally compliant research outputs and operational support services under task order and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Martin’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences, indicating a primary focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award strategy, his approach remains compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes merit-based selection grounded in technical merit and past performance. His core procurement focus lies within NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). He consistently acquires services related to pavement and structural testing, transportation systems modeling, workforce training in infrastructure standards, and applied research in mobility and safety technologies, demonstrating deep domain expertise in transportation engineering and operational analytics.
