Noelle Albert

Noelle Albert serves as a key procurement professional at the W6RN USA Geospatial Center, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to deliver high-resolution geospatial intelligence and operational mapping capabilities. She manages the acquisition of technical services critical to battlefield situational awareness, including three-dimensional terrain modeling, real-time geospatial data integration, and geospatial software development for land, air, and cyber domains. Her portfolio centers on engineering and research-driven contracts that enable precision targeting, mission planning, and intelligence fusion across joint operations. Albert ensures acquisitions align with DoD standards for geospatial data interoperability and secure cloud-based analytics platforms. Her contractor relationships are primarily with engineering and geospatial technology firms delivering advanced mapping systems, geospatial analytics software, and defense-grade data processing solutions. She engages with both large defense contractors and specialized small businesses that provide niche capabilities in remote sensing, GIS platform development, and terrain simulation tools. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and technical rigor, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of rapid adaptation to evolving battlefield requirements. Albert demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, and a significant portion allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base with proven expertise in military geospatial applications, ensuring resilience and innovation through small business engagement. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with substantial activity in research and development (541715) and computer-related services (541519). She routinely procures advanced geospatial software, algorithmic terrain analysis tools, and data fusion systems that support real-time operational decision-making, reflecting deep technical expertise in defense geospatial intelligence and mission-critical mapping technologies.
