She manages complex acquisitions in advanced technology domains, primarily focusing on custom software development, systems integration, and geospatial data analytics services. Her work ensures that NGA’s intelligence infrastructure remains modernized and operationally resilient, aligning procurement decisions with strategic technology roadmaps and mission-critical requirements. Pistochini maintains a strong working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a primary contractor delivering mission-focused IT and geospatial solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade software development and systems design. While she engages with a limited number of prime contractors, her awards demonstrate consistent reliance on vendors capable of meeting stringent DoD compliance, cybersecurity, and data integrity standards. Her procurement portfolio exhibits a strong orientation toward open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 9.1% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation, particularly for specialized technical services.
