Wanda E. Moorman

Wanda E. Moorman serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she manages the acquisition of critical professional, scientific, and technical services that directly support national security objectives, including systems engineering, cybersecurity research, and advanced technical consulting. Her portfolio centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of high-integrity services that enhance the agency’s technological infrastructure and scientific capabilities. Moorman exercises full contracting authority under FAR Part 15, overseeing complex, performance-based solicitations and contract modifications to align with mission-critical requirements. Moorman collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily engineering firms, scientific consultants, and custom software developers, to deliver specialized technical solutions. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with mid-to-large tier firms possessing proven expertise in physical and engineering sciences, as well as niche small businesses capable of delivering agile, mission-aligned services. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing technical merit, past performance, and compliance with federal acquisition standards. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong but measured commitment to small business participation, with 8.3% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and the vast majority—91.7%—awarded as open, unrestricted competitions. This balance demonstrates a focus on maximizing competition while still enabling opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising mission needs. Moorman’s primary NAICS focus includes Engineering Services (541330) and Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), with significant activity in Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (541712) and Custom Computer Programming Services (541511). She routinely procures services related to systems integration, cybersecurity architecture, data analytics, and applied research, underscoring her technical expertise in supporting DHS’s mission to safeguard critical infrastructure through innovation and rigorous acquisition management.
