Judith A. Hart

Judith A. Hart serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), part of the Department of Defense, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical services that support the agency’s core function of delivering timely geospatial intelligence. Her portfolio focuses on professional development training, facilities support, and technical services that enhance NGA’s analytical infrastructure and workforce capabilities. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals, particularly in areas that bolster data collection, analysis, and operational readiness. Ms. Hart maintains a consistent working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized support services to NGA’s intelligence operations. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of supporting complex, mission-driven requirements, often involving integration of geospatial technologies and training systems. While she engages with a limited number of key contractors, her interactions are characterized by long-term contract management, performance-based oversight, and a focus on mission continuity. Her contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued under no set-aside authority, reflecting a preference for full and open acquisition strategies. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 16.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Ms. Hart’s primary NAICS focus areas include Professional and Management Development Training (611430), Facilities Support Services (561210), and Professional Organizations (813920), indicating a strong emphasis on workforce capability building and operational support. She also procures specialized services in automotive repair and miscellaneous manufacturing, suggesting a diverse, mission-enabling portfolio that supports both administrative and field-level NGA operations. Her expertise lies in bridging technical requirements with acquisition execution across non-traditional defense service domains.
