Shannon Humphrey

Shannon Humphrey serves as a Contracting Officer within the 693JJ4 Office of Acquisition Management at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, where she manages the acquisition of technical and administrative services critical to advancing commercial motor vehicle safety and regulatory compliance. Her portfolio centers on securing expert consulting, engineering, and systems modernization services that support data-driven oversight and technological resilience across the transportation sector. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and the agency’s mission to enhance safety through innovation. Humphrey maintains a consistent working relationship with National Institute for Safety Research Inc., a key contractor providing specialized safety analytics and technical consulting services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established partners with proven expertise in transportation safety research and regulatory support, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in technical rigor and compliance accountability. While she engages with a range of vendors, her contracting approach emphasizes quality, domain-specific capability, and mission alignment over volume-driven sourcing. Her set-aside preferences reveal a strong commitment to small business participation, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for 21.4% of her awards, reflecting a deliberate effort to leverage geographic and economic diversity in the contractor base. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition (78.6%), she actively identifies opportunities to include HUBZone-certified firms, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for underserved communities. Humphrey’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and education program administration (923110). She specializes in acquiring technical advisory services that support FMCSA’s regulatory modernization, data system enhancements, and safety compliance initiatives, demonstrating deep expertise in procurement for complex, mission-critical public safety domains.
