Marcia A Ferranti

Marcia A. Ferranti serves as a Contract Administrator within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a critical role in executing procurements that sustain and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of complex telecom acquisitions, including network services, secure virtual private networks, fiber-optic deployment, and mission-critical connectivity solutions. Her work directly supports DISA’s mission to ensure resilient, high-capacity, and interoperable communications for military and federal operations, with a strong emphasis on transitioning legacy systems to next-generation secure architectures. Ferranti maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key industry partners including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These contractors provide specialized telecom engineering, network integration, and secure infrastructure services essential to maintaining DoD’s global connectivity posture. Her procurement approach reflects a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in secure telecom delivery, indicating a focus on reliability, compliance, and operational continuity over transactional vendor engagement. Her contracting activity shows a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and system interoperability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the Telecommunications Division’s need for rapid, secure, and scalable solutions across classified and unclassified environments. While NAICS data is not currently available, her portfolio strongly implicates expertise in telecommunications services, network infrastructure, and secure data transport—domains requiring deep technical knowledge of DoD standards such as NSTISSAM, FISMA, and CMMC. She routinely procures services involving fiber optic deployment, MPLS networks, encrypted communications, and network resilience solutions, demonstrating specialized proficiency in the defense telecom sector.
