Tameka Woodley

Tameka Woodley serves as a key procurement professional at NASA Langley Research Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance aeronautics and space exploration through cutting-edge research and development. She manages acquisitions in physical, engineering, and life sciences, focusing on high-technical-domain contracts that enable next-generation aerospace systems, including hypersonics, advanced materials, and spacecraft instrumentation. Her work ensures timely and compliant procurement of R&D services critical to NASA’s strategic goals in atmospheric flight, planetary exploration, and space systems innovation. She operates within a highly technical acquisition environment requiring deep subject matter expertise and rigorous compliance with federal procurement regulations. Woodley maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of high-caliber contractors, including Jackson Bond Enterprises, LLC, the University of Utah, and Roche Diagnostics Corporation. These relationships reflect a preference for institutions with proven capabilities in experimental research, systems engineering, and specialized instrumentation development. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based collaborations with organizations capable of delivering complex, mission-critical scientific and technical solutions under stringent NASA standards. Her procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her acquisitions remain fully compliant with all federal requirements, prioritizing mission need and technical excellence above socioeconomic categorization. The primary NAICS code underpinning her portfolio—541715—signals a strict focus on research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. She procures advanced analytical tools, flight simulation systems, remote sensing instrumentation, and materials testing services, ensuring Langley’s research teams have access to the most sophisticated capabilities available. Her expertise lies at the intersection of aerospace engineering and scientific R&D procurement, supporting NASA’s leadership in next-generation space and aeronautics technologies.
