Connor Dunaway

Connor Dunaway serves as a primary contracting professional within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), overseeing the acquisition of advanced geospatial intelligence systems and analytical tools critical to national defense and mission-critical operations. He manages a portfolio focused on research and development, software publishing, and computer systems design services, ensuring that NGA’s technical capabilities in imagery analysis, automated mapping, and digital terrain modeling remain at the forefront of global geospatial innovation. His acquisitions directly support the agency’s mission to deliver precision geospatial intelligence to warfighters, intelligence analysts, and disaster response units through cutting-edge technology solutions. Dunaway maintains strategic relationships with leading technology providers including ESRI, L3Harris Technologies, Garmin International, Dynamic Gravity Systems LLC, and Voyager Search. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in geospatial data platforms, remote sensing systems, and real-time mapping applications. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical interoperability, and scalable architecture, often requiring vendors to demonstrate deep domain knowledge in geospatial analytics and defense-grade data processing. Dunaway’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on technical superiority and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing capability and reliability in high-stakes operational environments. While small business participation is not formally targeted, the nature of his acquisitions often involves subcontracting arrangements that may indirectly support smaller innovators within the supply chain. His primary NAICS focus areas—541715 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), 541519 (other computer-related services), and 541512 (computer systems design)—reveal a specialization in developing next-generation geospatial software, automated analytics platforms, and integrated geospatial infrastructure. He routinely procures services involving satellite imagery processing, terrain modeling, and real-time geospatial data fusion, underscoring his technical expertise in defense-oriented geospatial intelligence systems.
