Joey Larman

Joey E. Larman serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to deliver timely, accurate geospatial intelligence. In this role, Larman manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical services critical to geospatial data infrastructure, including engineering, translation, and analytical support, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical systems that enhance intelligence production and operational readiness. Larman maintains a consistent working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a key contractor providing specialized geospatial and IT solutions. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-related technical services, while also fostering partnerships with small businesses that bring niche expertise in language services and geospatial analytics. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, ensuring alignment with NGA’s evolving operational needs. Larman demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside programs dominate, his pattern reflects deliberate inclusion of small businesses across socioeconomic categories, particularly those capable of delivering translation, engineering, and data services essential to NGA’s global mission. His primary NAICS focus areas include Engineering Services (541330) and Translation and Interpretation Services (541930), reflecting NGA’s reliance on technical analysis and multilingual intelligence support. He also procures audio/video equipment (334310) and human resources consulting (541612), indicating a broad operational footprint that supports both field deployment and workforce readiness. Larman’s expertise lies in bridging technical requirements with compliant, efficient contracting solutions in a high-stakes national security environment.
