Ignacio Lomeli

Ignacio Lomeli serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), operating under the Department of Defense, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to advancing geospatial intelligence capabilities. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with NGA’s mission to deliver timely, accurate, and actionable geospatial data for national security and defense operations. His portfolio primarily includes complex, high-impact contracts for analytical systems, engineering solutions, and data infrastructure modernization, requiring deep technical understanding and strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Lomeli maintains a consistent working relationship with ECS FEDERAL, LLC, a key contractor delivering mission-critical geospatial analytics and systems integration services. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical innovation, often engaging firms with proven expertise in geospatial data processing, remote sensing, and mission support platforms. He fosters collaborative contracting environments that prioritize accountability, transparency, and mission alignment over transactional interactions. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with 40% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides or 8(a) competed awards, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses. While 60% of his procurements remain open to all competitors, he actively leverages the 8(a) program to cultivate emerging vendors capable of supporting NGA’s evolving technical demands. Lomeli’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting his specialization in procuring advanced geospatial analysis, system architecture, and data engineering solutions. He routinely acquires services related to AI-driven imagery interpretation, geospatial database development, and mission-critical software platforms that enhance the Agency’s ability to process, analyze, and disseminate intelligence at scale.
