Matthew Parker

Matthew C. Parker serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Office of Contracting, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver timely, accurate geospatial intelligence in service of national security and defense operations. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for technical services, including geospatial data infrastructure modernization, analytical tool development, and advanced surveying and mapping solutions. His work ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contract awards with NGA’s strategic priorities in geospatial innovation and operational readiness. Parker specializes in non-commercial, performance-based acquisitions requiring high technical precision and mission-critical delivery timelines. Parker maintains a consistent working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a key contractor providing mission-critical geospatial analytics and enterprise IT support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade geospatial systems, though he actively engages with a broad vendor base to ensure competitive, compliant outcomes. His approach emphasizes performance metrics, risk mitigation, and seamless integration of contractor deliverables into NGA’s operational workflows. Parker’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with NGA’s need for specialized technical capabilities that may not be widely available among small business concerns, prioritizing mission effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with all applicable socioeconomic regulations. His primary NAICS focus areas—519130 (Other Information Services), 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services), and 541715 (Research and Development in Physical Sciences)—indicate deep expertise in geospatial data processing, remote sensing analytics, and scientific R&D supporting intelligence production. He routinely procures advanced geospatial software, AI-driven imagery analysis tools, and geodetic surveying services critical to NGA’s operational mission.
