Janine Sherbondy

Janine Sherbondy serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver timely, accurate, and actionable geospatial intelligence in service of national security and defense operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities for mission-critical technology solutions, with a primary focus on custom software development and geospatial data systems. Her procurement efforts are instrumental in modernizing NGA’s analytical infrastructure, ensuring that cutting-edge capabilities are rapidly integrated into operational workflows. She specializes in complex, performance-based contracts requiring high technical rigor and stringent compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Sherbondy maintains a consistent working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a trusted contractor with deep expertise in geospatial software engineering and mission systems integration. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, high-performance vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and mission-aligned solutions under tight operational timelines. While she engages primarily with large, experienced contractors, her approach emphasizes accountability, technical compliance, and delivery fidelity over socioeconomic set-asides. Her contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects NGA’s operational imperative to access the most capable technical talent without restriction, prioritizing mission readiness over socioeconomic categorization. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs in her award decisions, as technical capability and proven performance remain the sole determinants. Her primary NAICS classification is 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), underscoring her focus on bespoke software development, geospatial data processing, and AI-enabled analytical platforms. She procures services that enhance sensor data fusion, imagery exploitation, and real-time geospatial visualization systems, requiring deep domain expertise in defense-grade software architecture and secure cloud environments.
