Tanya E. Davis

Tanya E. Davis serves as a key procurement professional within the 693JJ4 Office of Acquisition Management at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, where she supports the acquisition of technical and consulting services critical to advancing commercial motor vehicle safety. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for data-driven safety oversight systems, regulatory compliance tools, and modernized transportation information platforms. She ensures acquisitions align with the agency’s mission to enhance operational efficiency and technological resilience in the freight and passenger carrier sectors, typically overseeing task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for expert technical services. Davis maintains a primary working relationship with the National Institute for Safety Research Inc., a trusted vendor providing specialized safety analytics, behavioral research, and compliance support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms possessing deep domain expertise in transportation safety science, data modeling, and regulatory system integration. These relationships are characterized by sustained engagement, iterative deliverables, and a focus on outcomes tied to real-world safety improvements. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside designation. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorizations, though it does not preclude small business participation when they meet the required expertise. Her approach prioritizes merit-based selection based on technical merit, past performance, and system interoperability. The acquisitions she manages center on technical services supporting FMCSA’s regulatory and data modernization priorities, including safety analytics platforms, compliance monitoring tools, and system integration services for motor carrier databases. Her domain expertise lies in procurement for safety science, regulatory technology, and transportation information systems, ensuring that contracted solutions directly enhance the agency’s ability to enforce federal safety standards through advanced data analytics and operational intelligence.
