Khadija Osman

Khadija Osman serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the 693JJ3 Acquisition and Grants Management unit of the Federal Highway Administration, supporting the agency’s mission to enhance the safety, resilience, and innovation of the nation’s transportation infrastructure. She contributes to the acquisition lifecycle for technical services critical to highway system planning, engineering analysis, and operational research. Her work primarily supports the procurement of professional, scientific, and technical services that inform infrastructure design, data-driven decision-making, and compliance with federal transportation standards. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in contract administration, vendor coordination, and documentation integrity for complex, research-oriented procurements. Her key contractor relationships include K & M Transportation Services LLC and the University of California, Los Angeles, reflecting a mix of specialized transportation consultants and leading academic research institutions. These partnerships underscore a preference for high-caliber technical expertise in transportation engineering and policy analysis. Osman’s engagement patterns suggest consistent collaboration with vendors capable of delivering specialized, evidence-based solutions—often requiring advanced analytical capabilities and subject-matter expertise in highway systems and mobility innovation. Osman’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on open competition based on technical merit rather than socioeconomic preferences. This pattern aligns with the agency’s need for highly specialized services where qualified small businesses may be limited, and where technical capability and institutional expertise take precedence over socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 541110 (Legal Services), indicating deep engagement with transportation engineering, operational consulting, and regulatory compliance support. She routinely facilitates acquisitions for infrastructure design studies, traffic modeling, safety analytics, and legal advisory services essential to federal highway program execution.
