Claudia Figueroa

Claudia Figueroa serves as a key procurement professional within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Office of Contracting (HM0476), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver timely, accurate geospatial intelligence for national defense and humanitarian operations. She manages a portfolio of complex acquisitions centered on advanced geospatial data systems, analytical platforms, and mission-critical infrastructure services. Her work ensures the NGA maintains technological superiority through the procurement of cutting-edge software, data analytics, and operational support solutions aligned with DoD modernization priorities. She typically handles competitive, performance-based contracts under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical excellence, cybersecurity compliance, and lifecycle sustainment. Figueroa maintains a strong, recurring partnership with ECS Federal, LLC, a leading provider of geospatial and mission support services to federal agencies. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-performing contractors with proven capabilities in geospatial systems integration and cloud-enabled analytics. While she engages with a limited pool of prime vendors, her approach emphasizes long-term performance, technical alignment with NGA’s mission architecture, and contract compliance through rigorous oversight and evaluation criteria. Her procurement strategy is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 93.8% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and mission-critical nature of NGA’s requirements. Only 6.3% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate focus on capability over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation remains a secondary consideration when technical requirements permit. Figueroa’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), where she acquires custom geospatial software, AI-driven analytics tools, and secure data infrastructure. She also procures facilities support services (NAICS 561210) and specialized construction (NAICS 236220) to enable mission-enabling infrastructure. Her domain expertise centers on geospatial intelligence systems, remote sensing platforms, and secure cloud environments that support real-time intelligence production and dissemination.
