Her portfolio includes both hardware and software solutions critical to imagery exploitation and geospatial data fusion. Neustadt maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including ESRI, L3Harris Technologies, Garmin International, Voyager Search, and Dynamic Gravity Systems LLC. These contractors provide specialized geospatial software, sensor systems, navigation technologies, and data analytics platforms essential to NGA’s mission. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical innovation, and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering partnerships that integrate cutting-edge capabilities into operational workflows. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 50% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 25% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
