Collin Larson

Collin M. Larson serves as a key procurement lead within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Office of Contracting Services, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver timely, accurate geospatial intelligence for national security and defense operations. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical services that enhance analytical capacity, language readiness, and operational support. His work centers on securing specialized professional services that enable NGA to modernize its geospatial data infrastructure and sustain a globally responsive intelligence workforce. Larson typically handles competitive solicitations under simplified acquisition procedures and full and open competitions, ensuring alignment with DoD acquisition regulations and NGA’s strategic technology modernization goals. Larson maintains a primary contracting relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a trusted vendor with deep expertise in intelligence support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-performing contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned solutions under tight operational timelines. While ECS Federal is the dominant partner, his portfolio includes a consistent pipeline of engagements with firms specializing in language services, security screening, and training, indicating a reliance on proven vendors with proven track records in sensitive government environments. Larson’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with NGA’s need for rapid, high-fidelity support in classified and time-sensitive contexts. His procurement focus is concentrated in four core NAICS categories: Translation and Interpretation Services (541930), Investigation and Personal Background Check Services (561611), Professional and Management Development Training (611430), and Language Schools (611630). These reflect NGA’s emphasis on linguistic readiness, personnel vetting, and workforce development for intelligence analysts and operational staff operating in multinational and high-threat environments.
