Joey Larman serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), part of the Department of Defense, where he manages the acquisition of critical technology and support services essential to delivering timely geospatial intelligence. His portfolio centers on mission-critical contracts for software development, data analytics, and operational support systems that enhance the agency’s ability to collect, process, and disseminate geospatial data. Larman oversees full lifecycle procurement activities—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and alignment with NGA’s strategic modernization goals in geospatial infrastructure and analytical automation. Larman maintains a strong working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a trusted contractor delivering integrated IT and mission support solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in defense and intelligence environments, while also fostering collaboration with firms experienced in secure cloud platforms, geospatial software development, and mission-critical systems integration. His approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and sustained vendor accountability across contract performance periods. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This dual approach ensures robust competition while actively promoting opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs, reinforcing NGA’s broader objectives for inclusive innovation. Larman’s primary NAICS focus areas include Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) and Other Computer-Related Services (541519), reflecting his emphasis on bespoke software, geospatial analytics platforms, and data engineering solutions. He also regularly procures administrative management consulting (541611), office support services (561110), and specialized medical equipment procurement (423450) to support operational readiness. His expertise lies at the intersection of defense technology, geospatial systems, and mission-enabling services, making him a key driver of NGA’s digital transformation.
