Shadie Teymourian

Shadie Teymourian serves as a Contract Specialist within the 693JJ3 Acquisition and Grants Management unit of the Federal Highway Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that support the agency’s mission to enhance the safety, resilience, and innovation of the nation’s transportation infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical consulting services, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with research-driven transportation objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of engineering and operational consulting contracts that inform highway design, data analytics, and infrastructure performance modeling, directly enabling evidence-based decision-making across federal and state transportation programs. Shadie maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including K & M Transportation Services LLC and the University of California, Los Angeles, partnering with both private-sector consultants and academic research institutions to deliver specialized technical expertise. These collaborations are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that emphasize deliverables tied to transportation system improvements, research outcomes, and operational efficiency gains. Her approach fosters collaborative, outcome-oriented vendor engagement grounded in rigorous evaluation criteria and technical merit. Shadie’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s need for highly specialized, non-commoditized technical services that require advanced domain expertise, rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not a primary focus in her current portfolio, all procurements adhere to competitive fairness and transparency standards. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 541690 — Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services — encompassing transportation engineering, traffic systems analysis, safety performance evaluation, and infrastructure resilience studies. She routinely procures services involving data modeling, field testing, and policy-aligned research, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of highway operations and transportation systems management.
