Jodie S. Onaga-Nuttall serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and interoperable information systems for global military operations. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions centered on wired telecommunications infrastructure, mission-critical software services, and cybersecurity-enabled systems, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for network modernization and cyber resilience. Her work directly enables command and control capabilities by procuring high-bandwidth communication solutions and secure enterprise platforms critical to joint force operations. Onaga-Nuttall cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse base of contractors, including prime vendors specializing in secure network services, cloud-enabled mission applications, and cyber defense systems. She consistently engages both large defense contractors and small businesses with proven expertise in telecommunications and information technology services, fostering collaborative partnerships that emphasize performance, compliance, and innovation. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical readiness and supply chain integrity, ensuring solutions meet DISA’s stringent security and interoperability requirements. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses—equally divided between Total Small Business Set-Asides and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for veteran-led firms while maintaining competitive rigor. She actively leverages FAR 19.5 provisions to promote equitable access and enhance vendor diversity within the national security technology ecosystem. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Wired Telecommunications Carriers (517111), Other Computer Related Services (541519), and Security Systems Services (561621), indicating deep specialization in secure network infrastructure, custom software development, and cybersecurity operations support. She routinely procures encrypted communication systems, managed network services, and mission-specific IT solutions that underpin DISA’s global digital battlefield architecture.
