Stanley Peter Shultz serves as a Contracting Officer within the Office of Acquisition at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), where he plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to reduce traffic-related deaths and injuries through strategic procurement of evidence-based safety solutions. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning research and development, public communication campaigns, and technical services supporting regulatory policy development. His work directly supports NHTSA’s priorities in vehicle safety technologies, fuel efficiency standards, and behavioral research, ensuring that contract awards align with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical objectives. Shultz maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including AMD International Technologies LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and the National Association of ESEA State Program Administrators. These partnerships reflect a focus on technical expertise in engineering analysis, safety systems development, and public outreach services. His procurement patterns demonstrate a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in delivering high-integrity, data-driven solutions that support federal safety mandates. His set-aside preferences reveal a strong commitment to small business participation, with one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and expand vendor diversity within the safety technology ecosystem. Shultz’s primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), and 541810 (Advertising Agencies), reflecting his specialization in procuring software-enabled safety analytics, engineering research services, and public education campaigns. His expertise lies at the intersection of regulatory compliance, behavioral science, and emerging vehicle technologies, ensuring that acquisitions directly support NHTSA’s data-driven policy framework.
