Adam W. Derentz

Adam W. Derentz serves as a key procurement lead within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Office of Contracting Services (HM0476), responsible for managing complex acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to deliver actionable geospatial intelligence. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracts supporting advanced data analytics, geospatial modeling, and intelligence systems modernization, ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and strategic technology roadmaps. His work directly enables NGA’s operational readiness by securing mission-critical capabilities that enhance situational awareness for defense and humanitarian missions. Derentz maintains a primary contracting relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a trusted vendor with deep expertise in geospatial analytics, data infrastructure, and mission support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity contractors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and integrated solutions. While ECS Federal is the dominant partner, his portfolio suggests a reliance on proven industry performers with demonstrated experience in classified environments and rapid deployment of geospatial tools. Derentz’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible talent pool to meet NGA’s demanding technical requirements, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides. His approach prioritizes capability and mission fit over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a procurement philosophy centered on performance and operational urgency. His primary NAICS code focus is 541910—Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling—though this classification is applied broadly to encompass advanced geospatial data analysis, intelligence pattern recognition, and behavioral modeling services. He procures specialized analytical services that transform raw geospatial data into actionable intelligence, leveraging machine learning, remote sensing, and geospatial visualization platforms. His expertise lies at the intersection of data science and national security, supporting NGA’s mission to turn earth observation into strategic advantage.
